Greek FM Notes Improved Atmosphere in Recent Talks

TURKEY
  • Greek FM says talks with Cavusoglu were held in a calmer atmosphere than previous occasions and he expects this to continue
  • Dendias said Turkey had recognised the need to respect international norms.
  • "Turkey understood most clearly that regardless of whether there are disagreements or whether there are completely different approaches, it must operate in a context that does not provoke Greece and does not violate international law,"
  • "Manifestation of delinquency is not beneficial for Turkey either and leads nowhere but to the aggravation of our relations,"
  • In relation to Cyprus, Dendias said Turkey's historic military intervention on the island had made its future even more difficult to solve.
  • "We are far behind anything that would allow a hope for a solution to the Cyprus problem.
  • Unfortunately, the Turkish presence in Geneva a few weeks ago has brought us to the worst point from 1974 until today."
