The Prime Minister stressed the need for the US support to the upgrade of the UN mechanism for the resettlement of refugees, and to intensify their contacts with Turkey for the effective management of the refugee issue, and a just and viable solution to the Cyprus problem on the basis of UN resolutions.
Finally, Tsipras expressed the intention of the Greek government to resolve the name issue with a compound name with a geographical limitation, as long as FYROM shows the same intention.
