Greece is not participating in military operations against Iran, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lana Zochiou said during a press briefing on Tuesday, March 3.
Addressing Athens’ role in the escalating Middle East conflict, Zochiou stated that “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.”
On Greece’s military support to Cyprus, she said Athens does not believe there is a “major security issue” on the island, but “expresses its solidarity in whatever way may be necessary.”
Zochiou also revealed that requests for the repatriation of Greek citizens from the Middle East currently number several thousand. None are from Iran, where the Greek population is fewer than 100.
