“No Greek government, not even the current one, is going to discuss the demilitarization of the Aegean islands,” deputy government spokeswoman Aristotle Peloni said on Thursday in response to provocative new statements by Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar.
Ms Peloni stressed that Greece has always been on the side of Cyprus, which can make its decisions as an EU country. She stressed that there is a specific list of sanctions “on the table” and that the one with a problem in relation to the Summit and its decisions is not Greece, but Turkey.
He also clarified that “the text of the Council conclusions on the events in the Eastern Mediterranean has not yet been made public for confidentiality reasons and will be discussed tonight by the leaders at the dinner.”
As Peloni said, “I remind you that in his invitation to European leaders, the President of the Council, Mr. Michel, stressed, referring to the events in the Eastern Mediterranean, that all options are on the table to defend the legitimate interests of the European Union and the states “. members. He also stressed that the goal is a constructive dialogue with Turkey aimed at stability and security in the region and ensuring full respect for the sovereignty and sovereign rights of all EU Member States. We hope to see in practice how this respect is guaranteed. ».
Regarding the visit of the United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, to our country, Aristóteles Peloni highlighted that: “The government considers the results of the visit of the United States Secretary of State to our country extremely positive. Much more when it is the second in 12 months, when you have visited Cyprus before, when it is not combined with a visit to Turkey and when it is happening right now. The importance of the visit is also demonstrated by the irritation it provoked on the other side. That is why – as the Prime Minister in the Council of Ministers pointed out yesterday – in those moments we must all be united and be responsible because of these developments, the government does not win, Greece wins ”.
He also said that “the discussions that took place highlight the leading role of our country in the Balkans and its strategic importance in the Eastern Mediterranean. Revealing the importance that the United States attaches to our country is the fact that they chose as their permanent berth the most modern ship in the American fleet, the USS Hershel Williams, in Souda.
The clear support of the Greek positions and the message that the delimitation of maritime zones must be done by peaceful means and, in any case, on the basis of International Law is of great importance.
“The Secretary of State of the United States – as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said – shares our positions, understands that the tension between two NATO member states does not benefit anyone, opposes any arbitrary action that a priori torpedoes any dialogue in good faith and considers that the International The Fixed Compass must remain fair for all. Of course, the fact that, as the Prime Minister said yesterday, this visit reinforces our national line in the face of the European Union Summit “also It is important”.
