The reaction of Turkey after the rather surprising mid-Week announcement by the Greek government on maritime spatial planning came as a surprise to Athens. Both the neighbor’s reference to Greece‘s unilateral actions and the announcement of the submission of the corresponding Turkish map to international organizations such as UNESCO and the UN, had already been discussed behind the closed doors of the Kysea, which met yesterday under the prime minister at the Maximos Mansion.

Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece gave an interview to the American media outlet Breitbart, emphasizing that the “Trump election” was a positive development.

Deputy Foreign Minister Alexandra Papadopoulou had a telephone conversation with US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

Holy Wednesday, according to the Church, is dedicated to the memory of the sinful woman who repented, believed in Christ, and anointed His feet with myrrh. On the afternoon of the same day, the Service of Holy Unction is held.
