The heads of state and government of nine southern European Union countries, who are scheduled to meet in Alicante, Spain on Friday for a EuroMed Summit, will reportedly express their support for Greece in the face of continuing threats by Turkish leadership, sources with the French presidency said in Paris on Wednesday.

According to the same sources, the issue of Turkish threats against Greece will be discussed at a working dinner by the leaders of Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia and Greece.
