- Regarding this issue, Turkey, as well as the rest of the countries members of the Alliance, has been informed when and under what circumstances will Greece use the right to veto.

Her reaction followed after the statement of the Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Turkey will continue until the very end to support Macedonia`s membership in NATO, and that it will do absolutely anything in order the country to receive invitation on the Summit next year.
