Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis commented on Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's recent statements in Abu Dhabi, which caused controversy in Greece. Mitsotakis stressed that he knows Rama well, who, as he said, often lets out words that should not be said.
"I know Mr. Rama very well, he has a special way of expressing himself and often says things he shouldn't have said. This time he said something wrong and he realized his mistake. I am considering the correction; it was an unfortunate statement, it's better to leave it behind," said Mitsotakis.
This reaction comes after criticism in the Greek media regarding Edi Rama's comment to Greek-American journalist John Defterios, during a panel held in Abu Dhabi, engaging in a historical and cultural debate between the two countries.
"You think you have a monopoly on philosophy and are direct heirs of Plato and Aristotle, but you are not," is this statement excerpted from Edi Rama, who addressed Greek-American journalist John Defterios after the latter mispronounced his name.
A day ago, Rama himself reacted by saying that his tones were not at all tendentious, but only friendly humor.
