International media outlets reacted to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Greece, focusing on his calls for a revision of the Lausanne Treaty and the subsequent rebuke by both Greek President Pavlopoulos and PM Alexis Tsipras.

The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras promoted an agenda of positive relations between Greece and Turkey during his meeting with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning in Beijing.

The Greek government states its position only on confirmed facts. Particularly, on foreign policy issues, as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statements on Tuesday, we should wait and see the official confirmation and the official translation," said government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos on Wednesday.
"The confirmation of the statement came after the press briefing. In any case, we reiterated the country's clear and stable position on the Lausanne Treaty. A position clarified and repeated many times by Prime Minister Alexi Tsipras and Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias".
