FM speaks with Greek counterpart about the migrant crisis

Foreign Minister Nicos Christodoulides spoke with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias on Monday and expressed Cyprus’ support for Athens as it faces an ongoing migrant crisis on its borders.

Christodoulides said on social media that Cyprus fully supports Greece, and the decisions of the authorities.

“The situation on the Greek borders, land and sea, is deeply concerning.  European solidarity needs to extend past words.  The EU’s credibility is at stake,” he said

Cyprus like Greece has been dealing with an influx of migrants, with the latest group being found wandering Athienou village after crossing from the north on Saturday.
