Gov't: Good intentions via actions, not words
Gov't: Good intentions via actions, not words
Greece will not back down from its territorial rights and expects Ankara to prove its good intentions with actions rather than just words, government spokesman George Petalotis stressed on Wednesday.
The spokesman was responding to statements concerning the results of a meeting on Tuesday in Ankara between Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on the sidelines of a basketball match between the Greek and Turkish national teams, as well as reports that Turkey intends to remove a "threat of war" in the event that Greece extends its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, as it is entitled to under the International Law of the Sea.
"Mr. Droutsas and the government have a standing view that there is no concession and there will be no backing down from our national territorial rights and that Turkey must, beyond words, also proceed with actions to show that it means what it says," Petalotis said.
"We are neither intimidated nor terrified by statements of friendship, hostility or anything else. We are interested in the substance, which is the defence of our national rights," he added.
