The government’s official position on the postponement of the meeting Among Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was presented by government spokesman Paul Marinakis.
As he told One, the postponement was asked by the Turkish side, with the two countries looking for a joint time to make an appointment tomorrow, Wednesday, September 24th.
Responding to the criticism that the government has received from the opposition, Mr Marinakis noted: “To get the possibility that the postponement of the eyes of the world is derogatory, that he was looking for an excuse, to accept it and not a postponement but a cancellation. What does this mean? It means that opposition parties, in a move that will be unstoppable energy, have to take part in the country and attack before well – well learned what happened? “
And he added: “Suppose Turkey – subtly, not to misinterpret – cancel the meeting. What does that mean? What should the government apologize? Can it mean that attitude and positions are bothering us? “
The government spokesman also stressed that Greece was talking “not to retreat, but to win”. “On the one hand we are told that we are talking to a pirate, we are talking and winning,” he said characteristically, adding rhetoric: “Do you remember another government expanding a hand in the Ionian Sea?”
