EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell’s spokesman Peter Stan noted that “the hostile statements of the political leadership of Turkey against Greece and the Greek people are of serious concern.”

He indicated, according to a report by the French Press Agency (AFP), that “we expect Turkey to refrain from verbal escalation and commit itself to improving good neighborly relations”, noting that “in relations with Greece, any outstanding issues should be resolved peacefully, c During the dialogue in good faith in accordance with international law and in accordance with the principle of good neighborly relations”, he pointed out that “Greece is a Member State of the European Union and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Member States of the European Union must be respected.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened Greece during a meeting on Saturday that it would pay a “high price”, accusing it of violating Turkish airspace and “chasing” Turkish aircraft over the Aegean Sea, noting that “your occupation of the islands (of the Aegean Sea is close to Turkey ) We do not need. When the time is right, we will do what we need. We may suddenly arrive at night.”
