Greeks will not accept discounts on issues of national importance, main opposition leader Vangelis Meimarakis said speaking to members and friends of New Democracy in the town of Tripoli.
“We Greeks will not make discounts on national issues,” he said commenting on a recent statement by Education Minister Nikos Filis who suggested that “ethnic cleansing” was a more accurate term than “genocide” to describe the massacres of the Pontic Greeks by Turks.
He also noted that the prime minister is “making weird moves on national issues” and that Filis’ comments “created a strange impression.”
