President Pavlopoulos expresses condolences to French counterpart Hollande
Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos in a phone contact with French President Francois Hollande expressed his deepest condolences as well as the support of the Greek people to France and especially the families of the victims.
Pavlopoulos underlined that this is not only a French tragedy, but a Greek one, and an international one. "Primarily it is a tragedy of the West, since unscrupulous Islamists turned, through France, against the Western civilization, against the Democracy, against the human rights," he noted.
Pavlopoulos pointed to Hollande that the main root of evil is the war in the Middle East and particularly in Syria which must stop as soon as possible adding that that this is primarily the responsibility of the European Union. "And in this direction Greece, an integral member of the European Union and the cradle of its culture, was, is and will be ready to cooperate," he stressed.
