Foreign, Defence ministers on Syria developments

Venizelos noted the historical relations and special interests of Greece in the area, including the Greek Orthodox communities and churches and Greek businesses, and condemned again the “hideous crime” of use of chemical weapons. He also expressed support for the Geneva II process in producing a permanent and viable solution.

Avramopoulos said the situation in Syria and environs was “particularly dangerous”, and said Greece is looking for a political solution and is on the side of the area’s peoples who are fighting for democracy. He also stressed Greece’s consistency in keeping its contractual duties with international organisations.
