[01] KKE on Erdogan's visit

After outlining Turkey's positions on the Aegean, as they were presented by Erdogan at the press conference in Athens, the Political Bureau wonders what was agreed in Athens and "whether or not the problems regarding the violation of Greece's sea and air borders and the questioning of Greek sovereign rights in the Aegean remain."

KKE stressed that these questions demand a responsible reply. "The people must know the truth," it noted.

The Political Bureau further pointed out that "the Aegean, the territorial sovereignty issues are not constructed by 'diplomats', nor can they be solved by certain 'third parties'."
