[01] Tsipras briefed by Merkel over her recent visit to Turkey
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday spoke by phone with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel in order to be briefed over her recent
visit to Turkey, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili told reporters.
According to the spokeswoman, Tsipras made clear that any involvement
of NATO in patrolling the eastern Aegean in order to curb the activity
of migrant smugglers will concern Turkish territorial waters, and should
by no means affect Greece's sovereign rights.
She also said the issue of joint patrols in the Aegean has not been
raised.
