Greek Embassy in Azerbaijan issued a statement strongly condemning the campaign of blackening against Greece in the local media. "The Embassy of Greece is deeply outraged and unpleasantly surprised with unprecedented lies and unfounded accusations, spread by the local media. Greece participates in the preparation of European games at various levels, and is passionately interested in the success of the games. Therefore, the Embassy of Greece categorically rejects the anonymous allegations, where there is nothing but lies, and expressed its protest," the embassy said in a statement.
Yesterday the APA news agency, citing unnamed sources, accused the Greek ambassador that he recommended his government not to participate in the opening ceremony of the European Games as other European leaders will not come too. -02D-
