“Greece has been clarified and perpetuated in every way that the Turkish -tired Memorandum is illegal,” said Serres and Secretary of International Relations and EU. of the New Democracy, Mr. Tasos Hatzivasiliou, in his television appearance on SKAI on Monday morning.
Mr Hatzivasiliou, on Ankara’s re -approach moves with Khalifa Haphtar in East Libya, pointed out that “Turkey is trying to find opportunities to give the Aeolian narrative of the blue homeland”, they still approached them. “
He recalled that the Greek response to the Turkolibyy Memorandum was the legal delineation agreement with Egypt, which “interferes with the illegal memorandum”, as well as the important strategic cooperation of Athens -Cairo. “Through a legitimate agreement with Egypt, which is struck by Cairo, we have given a clear answer,” he said, recalling that Libya herself, at the time the Tripoli government designed its own maritime plots, had respected it.
At the same time, he referred to the design of sea pieces south of Crete from Greece, “respecting the beginning of the middle line with Libya, since there is no boundary agreement”. He stressed that in the area “there is an expression of interest from world energy giants”, mainly American, which, he said, confirms the international recognition of the Greek strategy. “If there was the slightest problem or the slightest gray point, no energy giant would come,” he said.
Referring to Greece -Egypt relations, the ND MP highlighted their strategic importance: “We have built a deep strategic relationship, which is based on many factors,” he said, emphasizing cooperation on the migration and “wise decision of the government” to the “wise decision of the government”. This interconnection, he stressed, links – through Greece – Europe with Africa. At the same time, he underlined the role of our country in European funding of countries in the region: “Every European resource to Tripoli passes through Greece”.
Finally, Mr. Hadjivasiliou was also asked about our country’s stance on Ukraine. “For Greece, international law is our only and strongest driver. We are a pillar of stability, a pillar of law that always respects this reality, “he said, responding to those who question Greece’s support for Kiev.
As he said, “we do not want international law to be replaced by any rationale for us and for us the first priority is the inviolability of the borders of every dominant European country.” Concluding he made it clear that “especially we, who have the trauma with the Cyprus tragedy and the Turkish invasion and occupation of ’74, cannot pursue a policy with two measures and two weights.”
