Greek FM: Cyprus Facing Hybrid Attack

Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis stated in Parliament that Greece will proceed with extending its territorial waters, without any compromise on sovereignty, which he described as a “red line”. He emphasized the longstanding and major priority of Greek foreign policy to support Cyprus, which is facing a “hybrid attack”. He praised the importance of the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnection for lifting the island’s energy isolation. The Minister clarified that the new Greek-Turkish dialogue will not discuss issues of sovereignty, but only the delimitation of the EEZ and continental shelf.
