(MENAFN) Türkiye on Friday censured Greek Premier Kyriakos Mitsotakis for his comments aimed at Ankara at the UN General Assembly.
"Unfortunately, this statement was yet another example of distortion of facts and hostile narrative against Türkiye. Türkiye's role in its region and beyond is well appreciated by the international community," the Turkish delegation noted.
It came when the Greek premier on Friday informed the UN General Assembly in New York that Türkiye "continues to play a destabilizing role in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Caucasus."
The Turkish delegation added Ankara has applied the restrictions directed by the UN Security Council.
It is a "double standard to accuse Türkiye of not imposing sanctions, while Greece itself circumvents other sanctions through the practice of tanker-to-tanker oil transfer operations," they also declared.
The delegation further stated Türkiye does not challenge the regional integrity or unity of Greece, describing it as a "a false propaganda."
"However, Türkiye does challenge Greece to enter into an honest and meaningful dialogue in accordance with international law to address not one but all legally interrelated Aegean disputes."
