[01] Alternate FM meets ICAO chief
Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas on Saturday received the
president of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Roberto
Kobeh Gonzalez.
Droutsas briefed the ICAO chief on a variety of issues of Greek
interest, particularly to continuing violations of Greek airspace by
Turkish warplanes. He also referred on the operation of an illegal
airport in the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus , which the ICAO, of
course, does not recognise.
The two officials also discussed the issue of climate change, while
González referred to the ICAO's aims ahead of Copenhagen Summit, given
that civil aviation is held responsible for 2 percent of greenhouse gas
emissions every year.
Finally, Droutsas expressed the Greek government's support to ICAO's
mission on the occasion of the Dec. 7 International Day of Civil
Aviation.
