"Greece is neither intimidated nor terrorised," government spokesperson Yiannis Economou underlined on Thursday responding to threatening statements by Turkish officials against Greece.
"The Greek government governs based solely on international law and national interests," Economou said adding that: "The tactic of threats and provocations, which Türkiye follows, is an absolute impasse since Greece is neither intimidated nor terrorised. It would be useful for Turkish officials to think about the deadlock and not continue on the same path and in the new year."

He also said that it is suprsining for the one who threats to demand in parallel from the attacked to deprive of the legal protection measures of its sovereignty. "The neighbourhood does not need trouble makers or anachronist revisionisms. It needs countries that respect the international law, as Greece which has proved through agreements it has signed with neighbouring countries based on the international law of the sea" he clarified.
