BERLIN, Aug. 25-- Before his mediation trip, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Tuesday called on Greece and Turkey to discuss their territorial claims in the Mediterranean. "A further escalation can only harm everyone, but above all those directly involved on site," Maas said in a statement released by the German Foreign Office. "Instead of new provocations, it is now finally necessary to take steps to relax and enter into direct discussions. We want to support all of our efforts," the minister added. |
