His loud intervention State Department for contesting the sovereignty of the Greek islands and continuous Turkish attacks against Greece.

The representative of the US Foreign Ministry, answering the question of the Greek correspondents in Washington, said that “at a time when Russia once again invaded a sovereign European state, statements that could heighten tensions between NATO allies are especially counterproductive.”

“The United States continues to encourage NATO allies to work together to maintain peace and security in the region and to resolve disputes through diplomacy. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected and protected. Greek sovereignty over these islands is not disputed. We call on all parties to refrain from rhetoric and actions that could further escalate tensions,” he added.
