Athens:

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday lauded parliament's decision to legalise same-sex marriage and adoption, despite fierce opposition from the country's powerful Orthodox Church.

"This is a milestone for human rights, reflecting today's Greece -- a progressive, and democratic country, passionately committed to European values," Mitsotakis said on X, formerly Twitter.
