PM Mitsotakis at Ioannina region: Greek response to any threat is a resounding 'No'
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Greece's stance to any threat, "especially when originating from countries that raise their rhetoric and sink into their own isolation is a resounding NO," Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday in Kalpaki, a historic battle location in 1940, in a message to Turkey.
Referring to the upcoming 28th October national holiday, a day Greece turned down Italy's ultimatum to its invasion in 1940, Mitsotakis said that the three letters of the Greek word Ochi (No) "are a response only to those who threaten others, and (the letters) do not challenge, but inivite one to the path of legality, the path of peace."
"Nobody believes anywhere in the world that Turkey is endangered by the Greek islands - on the contrary, it unfortunately continuously trumpets its threats against Greece's sovereignty," the premier added.
Mitsotakis was accompanied in the NW town of Epirus by Parliament President Constantine Tassoulas, the deputy ministers of the environment and citizens protection, New Democracy MPs and officers of the armed forces, as well as local authorities.
