Defence Minister Evangelos Venizelos visited on Friday military units on the eastern Aegean island of Rhodes.
In statements to reporters, Venizelos said that Greece was willing to make important steps aiming at stability and peace in the Aegean, in eastern Mediterranean and the broader region.
"Greek-Turkish rapprochement is a reality in which the Greek people believe, but there are rules that are inviolable, despite the fact that they are known, such as the respect of existing borders, of international law, the
respect of good neighbourly relations, the respect of the European acquis. Of course it is evident that everything is influenced not only by the level of Greek-Turkish relations but by the situation in Cyprus, that is by the prudent effort to find a just and viable solution, in the well-known United Nations framework," the minister added.
