Greece responded by saying it would not follow Turkey’s lead "Her infamous daily slip" In statements and threats.
The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs said "We will inform our allies and partners of the content of provocative statements… to make clear who is putting dynamite into the cohesion of our alliance during a dangerous period".
