[01] President Pavlopoulos: Grey zones exist only in Turkey's imagination
Any challenge to the Treaty of Lausanne is a challenge to European
soil, President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said on Wednesday, noting that
any claims by Turkey that there are "grey zones" in the Aegean belong
"to its imagination".
Pavlopoulos made the comments during an event in Karpathos where he
was proclaimed an honorary citizen of the island. Referring to recent
comments by Turkish officials on the Treaty, he said if international
law is violated, then peace is also violated. "This is an issue that
concerns Europe as well because Greece's borders are also European
borders," he noted.
Pavlopoulos said Turkey faced difficult times in July with the failed
coup, during which Greece extended a hand of friendship. "But Turkey
must know that grey zones only exist in its imagination," he added.
