Greece’s stance to any threat, „especially when originating from countries that raise their rhetoric and sink into their own isolation is a resounding NO,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday in Kalpaki, a historic battle location in 1940, in a message to Turkey.
Referring
to the 28th October national holiday,
a day
Greece
turned down Italy’s ultimatum
its
invasion in
1940, Mitsotakis
said that the three letters of the Greek word
Ochi (No) „are a response only to
those
who threaten others, and
(the letters) do
not
challenge, but
inivite one
to the path of
legality, the path of peace.” „Nobody believes anywhere in the world that Turkey is endangered by the Greek islands – on the contrary, it unfortunately continuously trumpets its threats against Greece’s sovereignty,” the premier added.
Mitsotakis was accompanied in
the
NW town of Epirus by
Parliament President
Constantine Tassoulas, the deputy ministers of the environment and
citizens
protection, New Democracy
MPs and officers of the armed
forces, as well as local authorities.
