Greece condemns use of violence in Myanmar

[Ellinas]

The Greek foreign ministry on Friday roundly criticised the Myanmar government for its use of violence against protesters in the SE Asian country over the past week.

The use of violence by the government abominable; we express our great concern over the deterioration of the situation in Myanmar/Burma, spokesman Georgios Koumoutsakos said, adding:

The use of violence never solves problems. It must stop immediately. Conversely, an open dialogue is needed, without exclusions. A peaceful and open process for national reconciliation is also needed, he noted.

The Greek foreign ministry also praised a decision by the country’s leaders to allow a visit by United Nations SG representative Ibrahim Gambari, noting that Athens wholly supports the latter’s efforts.
