Evangelos Apostolakis welcomed his son yesterday at the airport – he was among the 27 arrested in Israel

At the airport “El. Venizelos’ was found yesterday afternoon by the Independent MP and former Chief of General Staff, Evangelos Apostolakis to welcome his son who was among the 27 Greeks who had taken part in the action of Global Sumudilla for the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Alexander Apostolakis was among them held in prisons after the interception of the International Solidarity Fleet Global Sumudillaoff Gaza. “Both as a father and as a member of the Greek Parliament, I am obliged to say that I applaud any such actions aimed at peace and reinforcement of people who have genocide,” the former Chief of General Staff initially told OPEN.

Mr Apostolakis criticized the government for the “lukewarm” initiatives for the detention of 27 people from Israel: “All governments had to help, applaud and highlight them. And not to hinder them. The behavior of the Greek government was numb. The Foreign Minister, at least, had a very good information to us. But I think the initiatives he took were a little … lukewarm. The Turks took them the first day without much. Israel should behave differently to the Greeks because we are supposed to have an excellent strategic relationship and there is a climate that … despite what they do, the voices from our country are a little gathered. “

Regarding the way Greek activists who were held in prisons in Israel were treated (and) emphasized: “It was not their behavior the best. First of all, this bastard, I can’t describe it otherwise, the Israeli security minister made them an incredible bullying. Then they were handcuffed. What was it? Terrorists? They put them in a terrorist prison. Is it possible? “

At the airport yesterday afternoon they were waiting for a large crowd with banners in favor of activists, while the “present” besides Evangelos Apostolakis was given by Eucleidis Tsakalotos and Zoe Konstantopoulou.
