[01] DM Meimarakis issues warning to Ankara
National Defence Minister Evangelos Meimarakis, referring on Thursday
to the air collision that occurred between a Greek and Turkish warplane
over the Aegean on Tuesday, issued a severe warning to Ankara,
stressing with emphasis that "we do not make aggressive moves, but to
provocations the necessary reply will be given."
The minister was speaking from Larissa, central Greece, where he
visited the Tactical Airforce Headquarters.
Meimarakis said that "Turkey must understand that the development of
our relations depends on its conduct as well as on its European course,
and for this reason, its full abidance is required, to the principles
of good neighbourliness."
The defence minister called on Ankara "to cease the violations of Greek
air space and to change logic and approach to the matter."
Meimarakis was accompanied on his visit to Larissa by Deputy National
Defence Ministers Vassilis Michaloliakos and Yiannis Lambropoulos and
Chief of the Armed Forces General Staff Admiral Panagiotis Hinofotis.
