MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th January, 2019) Moscow does not interfere in the internal affairs of Greece, but will continue to voice its position on issues included in the scope of competence of the UN Security Council, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said Tuesday.

The Greek Foreign Ministry on Monday criticized the Russian Foreign Ministry over comments on the adoption of amendments to the Macedonian constitution on the country's name change as "incompatible" with the level of friendship between the two countries, and described them as an interference in internal affairs.

"We do not interfere in the internal affairs of Greece, but in those issues that are within the competence of the UN Security Council, Russia will express its point of view," Grushko said.
