Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has renewed his criticism of Turkey's activity in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, while warning Ankara against crossing "red lines."

However, the project also entails two elements that are important to Greece - political continuity and broader business opportunities - and should serve as a paradigm.
