QA-45, 20 November 2021, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Tanju Bilgiç in Response to a Question Regarding the Statements of Nikos Dendias, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, on 19 November 2021

Unable to digest the key role Turkey plays in ensuring peace and stability in her region and immediate surroundings, Greece's attempts to rival Turkey on every issue, preferring tension over cooperation and trying to create artificial alliances against Turkey are futile efforts. Greece, who on the one hand refers to dialogue while making hostile and provocative statements about Turkey on a daily basis on the other, is invited to common sense, honesty and sincerity.
