Greece Sends 3+1 Messages to Turkey from the UN: Dialogue, but No Concessions on Sovereignty
Athens arrives in New York with a dual message for Ankara: communication channels should remain open, but there will be no discussion over “grey zones,” the demilitarisation of Greek islands or other issues Greece regards as matters of sovereignty. Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis reiterates that the delimitation of the continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone is the only Greek-Turkish dispute that can be referred to international jurisdiction.
