Greece responded with “calmness, determination and national confidence against the illegal Turkish Navtex for unlawful exploratory drilling in areas of the Greek continental shelf,” government spokesperson Stelios Petsas said on Thursday during a press briefing. “We cited international law, which is on our side, and we mobilized our allies, who were on our side,” he added, ANA reports.
Concerning the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the economy and developments in this field in general, the government spokesperson noted that “the unprecedented health crisis of the coronavirus pandemic cost the lives of more than 100,000 our European fellow citizens and plunged Europe into the deepest economic recession in its history. As the prime minister stressed, the Recovery Fund is not a simple reaction by Europe to the crisis. It breaks a political taboo. Because after so many months of negotiations a Fund of 750 billion euros was set up, guaranteed by the common budget of the member states of the European Union. That is, it gave birth to new European tools. And Greece can make use of these tools. To overcome the crisis faster. To achieve a dynamic recovery of the economy and the upliftment of society. To transform Greece in the coming years.”
