Greece: Turkey

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with his NATO counterparts on the territorial dispute between Turkey and Greece in the Aegean Sea; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

My right hon. Friend the Defence Secretary has spoken to several of his NATO counterparts, including his Greek and Turkish colleagues.
