The outcome of the political party leaders meeting was anticipated by the government which requested the meeting so that every political power takes on its responsibilities towards the people, government sources said on Sunday, commenting on Saturday’s marathon meeting.
The government has not asked for consent without a debate, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili said on Monday in an interview with Praktorio 104.9 FM.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in his address at the EU-Turkey summit welcomed the initiative for this meeting after 11 years and proposed the next meeting to be held on a Greek island.
A highly unusual online exchange has taken place on Twitter between the prime ministers of Greece and Turkey before the former deleted his tweets – but only from the English version of his account, as The Guardian reports, reproducing news from the AFP.
