Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan on Tuesday in their joint statements announced their full support to the recent ceasefire in Syria.
As Tsipras said, they underlined the need for effectively combating terrorism and the necessary conditions for reconciliation in the country. He noted that the end of the war in Syria and the restoration of normalcy are the main factors for stopping the unprecedented refugee flows from Syria to Europe.
Tsipras underlined the huge effort of the government and the Greek people to receive the thousands of refugees and was briefed on the relevant efforts made by Armenia.
Both of them agreed that the refugee crisis does not concern specific countries, but the entire international community, “hence coherent policies are required in solidarity climate for addressing this crisis,” Tsipras stressed.
Bilateral agreements were signed before the leaders’ statements.
