Tourism Minister Kountoura expresses support to Antetokounmpo brothers

Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura on Friday expressed her support to Greek basketball player Thanassis Antetokounmpo, his older brother and NBA star Giannis and their family after the racist comment about Thanassis made by a television presenter on a sports programme a few day earlier.
