Greece is not participating in military operations against Iran, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lana Zochiou said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
Asked about Athens’ level of involvement in the escalating conflict in the Middle East, she said “all the measures that have been taken are preventive and based on protocol. Greece is neither participating nor involved in any way in the operation against Iran.”
Concerning Greece’s military support to Cyprus, Zochiou said Greece does not believe that there is a “major security issue” on the island, however, Athens “expresses its solidarity in whatever way may be necessary.”
She also revealed that requests for the repatriation of Greek citizens from the Middle East currently number several thousand, while at this time none are from Iran, where the Greek population numbers less than 100.
