Greece won't take part in war against Iraq 

 
ATHENS (AFP): Greece said on Monday it would not
participate in any military offensive against Iraq
even if it had the backing of the UN Security Council.


"We are totally opposed to any military conflict, and
we will not participate even if there is a UN
resolution," Greek Development Minister Akis
Tshohatzopoulos said in a television interview.


But he said Greece viewed a Security Council
resolution as essential for any use of force against
Iraq.


Greece refused to take part in military action against
Iraq during the Gulf War although it did open some of
its installations, such as the Souda airbase on the
island of Crete, to coalition forces at the time.


Prime Minister Costas Simitis earlier this month said
he believed an intervention against Iraq would have
"very negative consequences" for the region.
