Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday spoke on the phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

According to sources, Tsipras underlined the need for a final solution on the FYROM name issue with a change of the country's constitutional name and referred in detail to recent Turkish actions in the Aegean, noting that Turkey's respect for international law in the Aegean and the Mediterrenean was a prerequisite for promoting EU-Turkish relations.
