Especially in the islands that are close to us, that is, in the islands that were conditionally given to Greece by the Treaty of Lausanne and the Paris Agreement of 1947, it is clear and obvious that Greece is arming them. We also put it on the agenda of the UN. The same with other countries. We brought it as an issue on the agenda of the international community. And we will follow it. Because this is a clear violation of international law and international agreements It is not possible to tolerate the clear violation”, he emphasized.
