FM Kotzias: Greece a source of stability in the area
Greece lies geographically in a triangle of uncertainty (Ukraine, Middle East and Libya) as a beacon of stability, and if it is destabilised - through the way its European creditors are dealing with it - the repercussions will reach the Russian-Ukrainian borders, sweep through the Middle East and up towards North Africa like a sickle, Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias said Saturday (07/03/2015), speaking to the press in Latvia.
In statements to the press on the sidelines of the EU foreign ministers' informal meeting on the Ukraine, meeting in Riga for the second day, Kotzias warned that if Greece collapses there will be millions of migrants that will come into Europe, including thousands of jihadis, and said Greece's credit partners should see Greece's position much more seriously.
He added that if Greece and Cyprus fall, then Israel will be cut off from Europe.
The foreign minister has been interviewed by German TV stations ZDF and ARD on Saturday afternoon.
