FM Kotzias: Some try to undermine the Greek-Albanian dialogue
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
"Of course there was no genocide of the Chams," Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias on Sunday said in statements to Mega TV regarding the provocative banners at the Albania - Switzerland football match.
Kotzias attributed the new challenge of the Albanian nationalists to the attempt of certain forces in the neighboring country to undermine the dialogue between Greece and Albania and to prevent the creation of good climate in the bilateral relations.
He also noted the foreign ministry took immediate action and made clear that "we used all potential weapons of diplomacy."
"These Chams that speak about changing the borders are isolated in Albania," he stated. During his recent trip to Tirana, he said, the Albanian Foreign Minister reiterated four times that "Albania is faithful to the Helsinki agreement and recognizes the borders as stated in this agreement and that such demands are illegal."
