Greece Tells NATO that Equal Distance Policy with Turkey is Not Acceptable

The policy of keeping equal distances between Greece and Turkey is not productive and is detrimental to our country, said Greek Defense Minister Nikos panagiotopoulos on Wednesday.
“NATO’s policy of equal distances is detrimental to our country, but also to the cohesion of the Alliance, and therefore is not acceptable,” Panagiotopoulos told Stoltenberg.
The Greek official spoke during an informal meeting between the EU defense ministers on the developments in the Eastern Mediterranean with the participation of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and UN Deputy Secretary General for Peace Jean – Pierre Lacroix.
“At the Informal Meeting of the EU Defense Ministers, I informed extensively my counterparts, the Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg and Deputy Secretary General of the UN Jean – Pierre Lacroix, on the developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and the provocative actions by Turkey in an area inside ​​the Greek continental shelf,,” Panagiotopoulos wrote on Twitter.
Panagiotopoulos told the NATO chief that the Alliance’s position that Greece and Turkey should solve their problems between them, and the equal distance policy is ‘not acceptable.”
