[01] FM Kotzias in favour of political solution on German war reparations
ANA/MPA---Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias is more in favour of a political
rather than a legal solution on the issue of German war reparations,
which could be determined by a joint team of Greek and German experts,
German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported in a story which will
be published on Monday.
"I believe we have to find ways to discuss with Germany reasonably about
specific problems," Kotzias was quoted as telling the paper, adding that
a Committee of experts should be established by the two countries. "We
have to find a common denominator," he said.
In the article titled "Athens wants a compromise on the issue of war
reparations", the paper also notes Kotzias and German counterpart
Frank-Walter Steinmeier who are meeting in Berlin, will discuss the
Greek-German Fund for the Future and the Greek-German Youth Laboratory
which were founded in 2014.
Asked about Greece's debt, the paper says the Greek foreign minister
speaks of a "haircut" but without making specific demands, while he
describes Chancellor Angela Merkel as a "very reasonable person who
considers the future of Europe".
Kotzias also told the paper it is important for Europe not to destabilize
Greece, because if it happened, "millions of people" from the Middle
East could find their way to the North of Europe.
