“Some politicians in Cyprus should not play games on the back of such an important project,” said Serres and Secretary of International Relations of the ND and EU, Mr. Tasos Hatzivasiliou on Wednesday morning.
Speaking specifically about the work of the Greece – Cyprus – Israel electric interconnection, following the statements of the Minister of Finance of Cyprus, Mr. Hatzivasiliou pointed out that while the official position of the Cypriot government is in favor of the implementation of the project, “there is an internal discipline”. As he said about Mr Keravnou’s statements, according to which he does not see viability in the project, “I have no picture that this is an official Cypriot position for the cable. The opposite. I know that the official Cypriot position is in favor of the project. ” He even called for a clear position by Nicosia: “The Cypriot government should take a clear position. Cyprus cannot play a crown -letters with these projects. “

The ND member reminded that the work of the interconnection has been discussed at European level for years and described the cable as a “work of peaceful infrastructure, a work of progress and prosperity”. As he said, “it will be out of energy isolation primarily the Republic of Cyprus. That is, it is much more beneficial to them. ”
In the same context, Tasos Hatzivasiliou expressed the political position of the Greek government clearly: “We support this project, we consider it important to all of Europe. We support Cyprus – we have a brotherly relationship, which we properly maintain strong. But at some point they all have to take on all their responsibilities. “
Referring to the incident of shooting by Turks in Greek fishermen in the Thracian Sea, the Serres MP stood on the operational adequacy of the Port: “The Greek port always does its job excellently. When needed, it intervenes and protects the interests of Greek fishermen. We need to recognize this to the women and men of the body. “
