[01] U.S. State Secretary John Kerry welcomes FM Nikos Kotzias
ANA-MPA - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry referred to the close
relations of the United States and Greece in welcoming remarks on the
visit of his Greek counterpart, Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias, at the
State Department on Monday.
Kerry noted that the times are challenging and noted the sacrifices the
people of Greece had to assume because of the economic challenges. He also
referred to the challenges of terrorism and fighting it, and expressed
trust in Greece's ability to reform and to set a new path in its future.
Kotzias said he is there as a friend to someone who works with Greece for
democracy and peace against terrorism, and said "we can be sure that the
new law on prisoners will not allow any terrorist to walk freely - it will
be just a change in the detention method, and nobody will be set free."
Following the meeting, Kotzias is expected to brief Greek
correspondents. Later he is scheduled to meet at the Greek Embassy
in Washington, D.C., with representatives of the Jewish American
organizations AIPAC and B'nai B'rith.
