Greece to present counter-arguments on Macedonia’s suit

Greece is set to present Thursday its counter-arguments within the public hearing before the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Macedonia’s suit against Greece for violating the 1995 bilateral Interim Treaty by objecting to Macedonia’s application to join NATO.

The Greek team is led by Maria Telalian, legal advisor at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and ambassador Yiorgos Savvaidis, whereas several foreign professors will present the counter-arguments. Athens University professor Emmanuel Rukunas is the Greek ad hoc judge.
