WAR REPARATION CLAIMS PRESSED

ROME Greece Friday pressed its claims for massive reparations from Germany for the damage done by Nazis during the Second World War.

The issue was raised as German Chancellor Angela Merkel made a visit to Athens, her first since 2014.

“As Greeks, we consider these demands legally active and (that they can be) judicially pursued and should be solved in the competent European forum,” Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos told Merkel.
