In the shadow of ‘trophy organized today in Constantinople with the participation of Italy, Turkey and Libya, by the Greek MEP Nicolas Farantouris He stressed that ‘It is a strategic encirclement of Greece. ”
“Libya remains a country from which immediate threats to Greek sovereignty come through through the illegal turquoise. Italy, a partner and ally, is now reinforcing its cooperation with the Turkish defense industry, and our country is excluded from initiatives that concern our vital national interests. “
The MEP of SYRIZA and the Eurogroup of the Left, a member of his Security & Defense Committee European parliament He proposes the reactivation and revival of the trilateral and four -member that Greece had in the past with Mediterranean and the Balkans, suggests with his statements.
In his statement, he states: “In the period 2015-2019, Greece followed the method of trilateral and four-party partnerships to promote national interests and resolving issues by preventing perpetuated.”
As he points out, “today that significant developments in the Mediterranean are pregnant and threatened vital interests of our country (Turkish-Libyan Pact, EEZ delineation discussions between Syria-Turkey, etc.), Greece cannot be absent from critical regional processes.”
According to the Greek MEP, “the hospitality of the Trilateral Synod of Constantinople, between Turkey, Italy and the internationally recognized Libyan government, constitutes not only an important regional event, but also another loud alarm for Greek foreign policy. Three countries that are geographically linked to Greece, leave it in addition to consultations on a wide range of strategic issues that concern us and influence us. Turkey-Italy-Libya’s tripartite is a strategic encirclement of Greece. Libya remains a country from which immediate threats to Greek sovereignty come through the illegal Turkolibyan memorandum. Italy, a partner and ally, is now reinforcing its cooperation with the Turkish defense industry, and our country is excluded from initiatives that concern our vital national interests. ”
In view of these, Nikolas Farantouris proposes “the immediate recovery of Greece by regional initiatives, based on the regional cooperation schemes of the period 2015-2019, with the participation of Greece and Cyprus and others on the case of countries with the aim of building confidence, the collective confrontation and the collective treatment of common challenges. Such an initiative should include Egypt and Libya on the initiative of Greece and in the role of an EU mediator and regulator for the payment of European funds, migrant and illegal Turkish-Libyan pact. “
Nicolas Farantouris also recalls “the significant impact that regional initiatives such as the Rhodes International Conference on Security and Stability in September 2016 had participated in 8 European states and 14 Mediterranean and Gulf states with the aim of developing a security system for the Eastern Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean.”
“Today, the absence of our country from the critical regional developments in which all of our other neighbors are involved is a geopolitical degradation a few days after Mitsotakis-Memberon meetings in Rome and the visits of Gerapetritis to Tripoli,” concludes.
