Ahead of a scheduled meeting between Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis with French President Emmanuel Macron, in Paris next Wednesday, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire referred to the close alliance between France and Greece and the relationship cultivated between two countries stressing in no uncertain terms that France would not tolerate any threats by Turkey against Greece and Cyprus in their dispute in the Mediterranean region.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova had denied reports that Russia intended to recognise the self-proclaimed independent Turkish state of “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)”, stressing Russia was in favour of resolving the Cyprus problem on the basis of UN Security Council resolutions.

Egypt has again issued a stern warning towards Turkey against using any unilateral illegal actions in the EEZ of Cyprus, which threaten security and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean.
