Greece lashed out today at Russia's expulsion of Greek diplomats from Moscow this week, as a spat between the two traditionally friendly countries grew more acrimonious.
The foreign ministry issued a statement describing the Russian move as "arbitrary and vengeful, and not based on any evidence."
Russia said Monday it was responding quid pro quo to Greece's expulsion of two Russian diplomats last month, which it described as "unfriendly actions."
The ministry said it "would like to remind our friends the Russians that no country in the world would tolerate attempts a) to buy off state officials, b) undermine foreign policy, and c) intervene in the country's internal affairs."
