“Geography doesn’t change. Greece is ready to face any such scenario,” said Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, regarding the possibility that Turkey might pass the “Blue Homeland” bill.
It would be a mistake on Turkey’s part, he said, to proceed with such a move; it would be an unnecessary escalation that would not create a fait accompli but would certainly place a heavy burden on Greek-Turkish relations.

“If something like that were to happen, there would be a strong reaction. I hope that doesn’t happen,” he continued.
Furthermore, responding to questions regarding the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections, he stated that Greece has strategic relations with the U.S. built on a strong foundation.
“Support for Greece’s positions in the U.S. has always been bipartisan. I have addressed the U.S. Congress at the invitation of both parties. I would like to express my satisfaction that Greek-Americans have been elected to the House of Representatives and that, for the first time, we also have a senator,” he added.
Regarding the dismissal of the U.S. Ambassador, he noted that relations with the U.S. transcend individuals and governments. “This is not a matter for Greece; we do not choose who will serve as ambassador. We will cooperate with whoever the U.S. President chooses. Anything that creates turmoil cannot be viewed as a positive development. No one could influence that. Our relations with the U.S. and the contacts we have are at a high level,” he noted.
