STORY: Good prospects in Athens with a look towards the future. During the visit of Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis went to the site of the world-famous Acropolis in the morning. Images with a lot of symbolic power. Because this ancient site represents the culture of democracy. And after the economic crisis, Greece is on the right track, as Scholz emphasized at the press conference. Germany and Greece agree on the condemnation of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and on the subject of arms deliveries to the government in Kyiv. The position of the German chancellor in connection with the disputes between Greece and Turkey received a great deal of attention. Olaf Scholz said on Thursday in Athens: “The Mediterranean is an area full of potential, especially economically. And it should be in the interest of all neighbors to fully exploit these opportunities for the benefit of their respective populations. In my conversation I got the impression that Greece is very willing to do this. And you can and should trust that. Good neighborly relations between Greece and Turkey, for example, are important not only for both countries, but for the whole of Europe and the transatlantic alliance. That’s why I’m also sure that all issues that exist there can and must always be resolved in dialogue and on the basis of international law.” And there was also broad agreement between Scholz and his counterpart Mitsotakis on the topic of the current energy crisis and how to combat it.
