“In foreign policy, the Mitsotakis government is the one who has made very good decisions that had not been taken for decades,” said Serres and Secretary of International Relations and the EU of the New Democracy, Mr. Tasos Hatzivasiliouspeaking to SKAI on Monday morning, called to comment on the criticism of former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.
As he said, “I respect and acknowledge the course of the former prime ministers and former New Democracy presidents, and therefore Mr. Samaras, and their contribution to the country and the lineup”, however, adding that he disagrees with the position that the party has been mutated: “Parties are like societies. They evolve, they do not mutate. That is why the New Democracy remains state -of -the -art, winning successive electoral victories. This means that it expresses the needs and hopes of the majority of the Greek people. Otherwise, it would follow the downward course of PASOK or SYRIZA. ” He also said that he had a different view of government government moves.
Continuing, Mr. Chatzivasiliou has listed a series of actions in the diplomatic field for the last six years. “Let us remember the expansion of territorial waters to the western front to the Ionian Sea, the exemplary EEZ agreements with Italy and Egypt, the maritime spatial planning, the national maritime parks. The government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is following an external robust, plan, which produces a result, away from patriotic crowns. “
His government @kmitsotakis He practices foreign policy with plan and results.
OR @neademokaraia It expresses the needs and hopes of the majority of the people, otherwise it would follow the downward course of PASOK & SYRIZA.
That is why it remains strong, winning successive elections…

Talking about Turkey’s reaction and her attempt to announce her own maritime parks in the Aegean, the ND MP made it clear that Greece was not surprised. “It was an expected move after the prime minister’s very correct and legal announcement on our maritime parks,” he explained, describing Turkish energy “clearly illegal, irrational, Aolis, which produces no legal effect.” As he said, Ankara’s goal is to remind her of her permanent and unfounded positions and to serve internal consumption reasons.
Referring to the map presented, he noted that “he presents Turkey’s completely graphic theory that the islands are not influenced”, which “does not keep up with international law”. He made a special reference to Kastellorizo, stressing that Turkey “essentially encircles the Great’s complex, depriving it of each zone except its territorial waters, a completely illegal and irrational view”. As he said, “What does Turkey do? It attempts to distinguish the Kastelorizo complex from the rest of the Dodecanese. “
Equally sharp was his criticism of Ankara’s choice to draw maritime parks between Lemnos, Samothrace and Imbros. “Turkey is incorrectly planning marine parks out of territorial waters, that is, in international waters,” he said, adding that such moves raise questions about navigation in the area. “What does a marine park mean? It means protecting natural wealth, so it means limiting activities such as fishing and navigation. What exactly does Ankara want to do? To prevent free navigation between the Aegean and the Black Sea? “He asked.
Regarding Libya, the ND MP denied the marginalization of Greece: “I would not say that Greece is outdated. The opposite. He always knows what is happening, without being surprised. ” In a strict tone she warned Libya that her relations with the EU pass through Athens. “Greece is the natural bridge between Libya and Europe. And our neighbors will do well in Libya to realize it for their own good before it is too late, “he noted, recalling that when the Libyan maritime plane was presented,” he respected the midline, because he knew that, if he did not do it, he would not do so. “
He concluded that “migration is a European issue and needs European approach.” He even argued the temporary suspension of asylum applications from North Africa, insisting that “we need a common front to send a message to the traffickers once again that they cannot decide who and how many will arrive in Europe”.
