Mitsotakis: Greece’s red lines are clearly delineated in talks with Turkiye

Despite our established disagreements, we can still proceed in tandem with our agreements, Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis says in Ankara

Ankara’s decision to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque is against the European course that Turkey wants to follow, Deputy Foreign Minister Yiannis Amanatidis said on Tuesday to ANA-MPA’s radio “Praktorio 104.9 FM”.

He clarified that Greece’s adamant position on the issue is the recourse to international organisations adding that Athens expects the world community’s actions via UNESCO.

“The specific action does not comply with Turkey’s European course, with the European acquis, the respect to the diversity and the religious freedom,” said Amanatidis adding that Hagia Sofia is a world heritage monument protected by UNESCO.
