Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis accused Turkey's leadership of undermining peace and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean region at time of war but assured Turkish people that Greece is not a threat to their country.

The two countries - North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies but historic foes - have been at odds for decades over a range of issues including where their continental shelves start and end, energy resources, overflights in the Aegean Sea, the status of demilitarised islands and divided Cyprus.

"Turkey's leadership seems to have a strange fixation with my country. ... They threaten that Turkey will come at night, if it so decides. This is the language of an aggressor," Mitsotakis said, during his address to the United Nations General Assembly."From the UN I would like to address ... the Turkish people directly: Greece poses no threat to your country. We are not your enemies, we are neighbours," he said. "Let us move forward.

Long-existing tensions between the two countries have flared up recently. Greece complained to NATO and the United Nations this month over what it called "inflammatory" statements by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.
