  • [01] FM Kotzias expresses sadness and support for Turkish people after terror attack

    Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias expressed his sadness and support "for the people of Turkey who are hit by terrorism" on Wednesday, following the deadly attack at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport on Tuesday night.

    Speaking to radio station Alpha 98.9, Kotzias said Greece supports the Turkish government in tackling this problem and added: "Greece is not pleased with such attacks. On the contrary, they are inhuman; they are against the very nature and the lives of people and the whole world. It is the result of blind ideology, passion and extremism."

    [02] Skai applies to participate in tender for four national television licences

    Skai television on Wednesday formally applied to the General Secretariat for News and Communication to participate in an upcoming tender for the four national television licences that will be offered in Greece.

    More applications to submit bids are expected from Star channel, ANT1 and a Thessaloniki-based television station on Thursday. Each station has paid 30,000 euros for the required stamp duty, ANA-MPA sources said.

    The tender process will be concluded next Monday, July 4 and the short-listed candidates will be announced on July 14.

    [03] Supermarket chain Marinopoulos says its stores remain open

    Greek supermarket chain Marinopoulos said on Wednesday the operation of its stores continues normally, a day after it filed for bankruptcy at a Greek court. The company's request will be discussed at a court hearing on July 1.

    "The stores and their employees make every effort for a smooth operation and excellent service to consumers. At the same time, we are continuing discussions with the banks to produce a framework that will allow the long-term viability of the company," Marinopolos said in a statement. It also added that the company's entry under a consolidation procedure is the only way to keep the chain open and secure jobs.

    Marinopoulos is Carrefour's exclusive franchisee in southeastern Europe with stores in Albania, FYROM and Bulgaria.
