NATO chief Stoltenberg to visit Greece
NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg will travel to Athens on Thursday for talks with the Greek
leadership, according to an announcement from the Alliance.
"Turkey is doing a lot; because Turkey is receiving hundreds of thousands of refugees. And Turkey is the country most affected by the crisis, the NATO Ally most affected by the crisis in both Iraq and Syria. And therefore, I commend that when I was in Turkey the huge effort Turkey is doing to take care of all the refugees that are coming to their country", he said.
Commenting on the Cyprus problem, he said, "the relationship between Turkey and Greece is a bilateral issue between Turkey and Greece. In addition, NATO is not involved in the efforts to try to find a solution related to the problems we see in Cyprus". Referring to his upcoming visit to Greece, he said "the bilateral issues between two member countries is not something that I want to solve out within NATO, or to address within a NATO framework".
