“Once again the minister, referring to the necessary Greek-Turkish dialogue, avoids highlighting the need for clear red lines for the benefit of the country’s interests and peace in the region” Rena Dourou emphasizes, criticizing the ND government and in particular the George Gerapetritis.
The head of SYRIZA’s foreign affairs department claims that the country’s foreign policy is moving “in murky waters with terms of opacity”.
Earlier, the foreign minister had argued that “the “blue homeland” is not depicted in Turkish school textbooks with a map that carries claims” and emphasized that it only includes “the mainland of Turkey” and not the Aegean or the Eastern Mediterranean.
“The events of Kasos, no matter how much the minister tries to embellish them, presenting them as… a “victory of Greek diplomacy”, are ominous developments. They create a negative precedent and show that the aggressive and illegal narrative of the “Blue Homeland”, as well as Turkey’s strategy as a whole, are not exercises on paper, but political choices in full swing,” replies the SYRIZA member of parliament.
Rena Douro’s position in detail:
“With his new interview today on Open TV, Mr. Gerapetritis unfortunately confirmed that the country’s foreign policy is moving dangerously, not in the “calm waters of the Aegean”, as the government’s version wants to convince us, but in murky waters with terms of opacity .
Ten days before the Mitsotakis-Erdogan meeting in New York, Mr. Minister referring to the dangerous for our country, Turkish revisionist narrative of the “Blue Homeland”, spoke of “an abstract ideology”. Unfortunately for the country, the events, the defiantly escalating Turkish aggression with the systematic flagrant violations of the Law of the Sea and European law, to undermine the interests of Greece, demolish his reassuring version.
The events of Kasos, no matter how much the Minister tries to embellish them by presenting them as… “a victory of Greek diplomacy”, are ominous developments. They create a negative precedent and show that the aggressive and illegal narrative of the “Blue Homeland” as well as the overall strategy of Turkey are not exercises on paper but political choices in full swing.
Once again, the Minister, referring to the necessary Greek-Turkish dialogue, avoids highlighting the need for clear red lines for the benefit of the country’s interests and peace in the region. For what reason?’
