Greece will not accept instructions on defence from anyone, prime minister says

During talks in Athens, Kyriakos Mitsotakis briefed European Council President António Costa on Turkey's recent escalation of provocations in the Aegean Sea, insisting Ankara's European path must be matched by genuine good-neighbourly relations with Greece

Hatzivassiliou: The Casus Belli is completely anachronistic – It is not consistent with NATO allies

Mr. Hatzivassiliou emphasized that the PM’s reference to the Casus Belli is particularly significant, as the issue has now been raised within the context of the Alliance

Mitsotakis sends messages on Casus Belli and F-35s without seeking new tensions with Turkey

Athens does not appear willing to engage in a war of words with Turkey, although it raised the issue of the casus belli clearly at the NATO level, despite Ankara's objections

Unbelievable response by Erdogan on the Casus Belli: Almost no Turk knows what it is, Let’s not burden our peoples with these issues – Mitsotakis was wrong to follow Netanyahu on the F-35s

“We never asked Mitsotakis: ‘Why are you buying weapons?’ - I agree with him, we need to discuss the Aegean"

Dendias on Turkey: The extension of our waters is our unilateral right – We do not tolerate the Casus Belli

“These are not serious matters. Interference in a country’s internal affairs is not customary,” he said regarding the criticism directed personally at him by Ankara and the scenarios about a personal agenda. “I speak with both of them,” he said about Karamanlis and Samaras

Athens responds to the Turkish Defence Ministry: We are doing the obvious for our protection, we are not ignoring the casus belli

A spokesman for the Turkish defence ministry earlier attacked Dendias and saw Greece's activities for its military aid as a possible "challenge"

Turkish media: Greece and Cyprus exclude us from SAFE

Strong discontent in Ankara after Athens and Nicosia veto on Turkey's participation in the European defence programme - Reactions to Christodoulides' position and the Greek condition of lifting the casus belli

New message from Mitsotakis to Erdogan from Copenhagen: As long as there is a Casus Belli, Greece will say “NO” to Turkey’s participation in SAFE

The concept of security covering the EU’s eastern and southern borders is reflected in the Council’s decisions, the Prime Minister emphasized in his statements

Hadjivassiliou: With an active casus belli Turkey will not join SAFE & European defence funds

"Turkey is annoyed because the government is proceeding with Chevron south of Crete, because Greek positions are recognized and the illegal memorandum is once again being rammed through"

Message from the Commission to Turkey: A third country can be excluded from the EU defence if it threatens a member state

"We already took the concerns raised by Member States seriously when we proposed the SAFE program," said the Commission's defence spokesman Tomas Renier
