 | | The Prime Minister declared that it is Turkey, not Greece, which is making demands: "Our country," he said, "desires a policy of peace and friendship." But, as long as Turkey continues its aggressive policies, Greece, he said, will not cooperate in the implementation of the E.U.-Turkey customs union agreement. |
 | | When the European Council of Ministers met on February 26, it overwhelmingly supported the Greek position, put forward by Foreign Minister Theodoros Pangalos, that the differences between Greece and Turkey are resolvable only on the basis of international law, and ultimately, therefore, by the decision of the International Court at The Hague. |
 | | Greece's diplomatic offensive designed to gain support for its positions on relations with Turkey, including the Cyprus issue, will continue later in March when Greece's President, Kostis Stephanopoulos, accompanied by Foreign Minister Pangalos, sets out on a tour of capitals, beginning in Albania on March 21. |
