“History, which is recorded in books and in memories, is alive and present and reminds us of our obligation to defend justice and not be complacent,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said from the Cyprus Republic.
Mitsotakis made his statements during a visit to the Hellenic Force on Cyprus (ELDIK).
Earlier, he met with Archbishop Chrysostomos II.
In statements at the ELDIK camp in Malounda, where he also laid a wreath, Mitsotakis said, “We live in a troubled era with challenges to stability. Our message is explicit: No illegal behavior will be left without response.
He added that illegal drilling for oil “isolate and undermine Turkey. My presence here marks the clear support Greece has for Cyprus’ absolute right to exploit the entirety of its energy resources within the Cyprus EEZ.”
The premier, who met on Monday with Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades and other officials, then departed Larnaca for Athens at 12.00 noon.
