The former US Secretary of State says Erdogan’s tactics ‘do not befit good neighbourly relations between two NATO member states’, only way to confront Putin ‘adequate show of force’.

The State Department said that the Secretary will attend the summit to discuss basic energy and security issues faced by the Eastern Mediterranean.

“Today’s celebration marks one more success underlining the strength of the U.S.-Greece relationship on multiple fronts in terms of defense and security cooperation, people to people ties, and of course the critical area of trade and investment,” the US Ambassador said.
