Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias on Monday denounced neighboring Turkey for its actions in the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean sea, while interviewed on StarTV on Monday evening. 
He added that Turkey should "realize that the way to solve any problem is to discuss it on the basis of International Law, not with overflights or by violating sovereignty and sovereign rights."

The Greek foreign ministry, in a statement released on Thursday, said that it amounted to "hypocrisy" for Turkey to cite international law. Responding to statements made by the Turkish defence ministry, Athens also expressed concern that the "continued calls of the international community to that country to respect international law appear to be falling on deaf ears."

New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who was attending anniversary celebrations in Alexandroupolis on Monday, referred to the ongoing detention of two Greek officers in Edirne prison in Turkey.
