Credit: AMNAGreece said on Friday that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will raise the issue of Turkey’s provocations in the Aegean with President Biden at the meeting of the two leaders in the White House on Monday.
Government spokesperson Yiannis Economou noted that the “issue of Turkish provocations will be raised; after all, Kyriakos Mitsotakis has already raised the issue of Turkish overflights above Greek territory as an issue that undermines and endangers the cohesion of NATO, at a time when stability is required.”
Mitsotakis has briefed NATO in April on the recent upsurge in overflight violations by Turkey of its airspace in eastern Aegean.
The Greek Premier announced that he spoke to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and briefed him on Turkey’s provocative behavior.
Mitsotakis, in his second visit to Washington as prime minister, will meet the U.S. President on Monday. On Tuesday he is due to address the U.S. Congress.
