In the same context, Dendias expressed the serious threats Turkey causes on the international level.

Next, he explained, “The tensions aroused in Syrian, Iraq, Cyprus, Libya and the east of the Mediterranean carry one common point, which is Turkey especially after its ignorance of European Union calls for respecting the international law.”

Finally, he called for the importance of distinguishing between the makers of disturbances and the ones who exert no efforts in reaching peace.
