"FM spokesman outlines Athens' position on EU-Turkey ties, other foreign policy issues
The foreign ministry's chief spokesman on Tuesday outlined many of Athens' standing foreign policy positions in an address to a large group of visiting Greek expatriate youths from Latin America, where he underlined that Greece not only creates security, peace and stability for its own people, but for the entire region.
In response to a question regarding Turkey's closely watched European orientation, spokesman George Koumoutsakos noted that 'we are doing everything possible to be on friendly terms, but there are certain particularities ... we must provide the opportunity for results of Turkey's policy to surface in the 10 years, minimum, that its course towards (EU) accession will last. However, we are not extending carte blanche.'"
