When the Minister of Public and Order was asked by the Independent MP Mr. Nikita Kaklamanis about the above issue, he rushed to assure of any concerns by stating that: ” Nothing indicates Jihadist presence in Greece so far”.

Prompted of a published picture on a website, presenting members of ISIS hoisting black flags in the area of Klathmonos square, Mr. Kaklamanis asked the Minister about the incident and Mr. Kikilias made clear that ” the specific picture was taken back on the 31st of August in a protest demonstration organized by the “community of Syrian spring’ on solidarity to the people of Syria.

Finally, Mr. Kikilias concluded by saying that :”The Ministry services in close collaboration with the competent services of other Ministries, are utilizing and establishing channels of a wider international cooperation, in order to take all necessary and appropriate preventive or deterrent measures.”
