The attempts to cast doubts on the Treaty of Lausanne are unacceptable and senseless, said the president of Greece Prokopios Pavlopoulos during a meeting with the US President Barack Obama, reports RIA Novosti.
Accepting the US President Barack Obama in his Presidential Palace, Pavlopoulos separated three themes for discussion, which, according to him, had a national significance. First, he pointed out the issue of Cyprus, which had been de facto divided since 1974, when Turkey in response to the coup attempt of the Greek militaries, had initiated an intervention.
"We want a quick, fair, and viable solutions, in accordance with the international law and European institutional achievements. A suggested form of confederation, occupying forces, or anachronistic guarantees are unacceptable for us, " said Papoulias.
Otherwise, he said, there would be established an extremely negative precedent for all the EU countries. "We also consider that all attempts to cast doubts on the Treaty of Lausanne are pointless and unacceptable,” said Papoulias.
The Greek president also referred to the issue of the name of the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. Athens blocks the Skopje's membership to EU and NATO and wants the name of the former Yugoslavian republic be changed, since it creates confusions with the Greek region of Macedonia.
