Russia summons Greek ambassador to complain about hostile remarks over diplomats’ expulsion

The Russian Foreign Ministry has summoned the Greek Ambassador to Moscow Andreas Fryganas to issue a formal complaint to over “anti-Russian remarks” by some Greek officials, the ministry said in a statement.
