SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance condemns the “provocative”, as it characterizes, announcement of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stressing that it “directly challenges Greek sovereignty over the Aegean islands”.
According to SYRIZA – PS, “this unacceptable announcement again violates the spirit and letter of the Declaration of Athens and follows the constant Turkish tactic of selective interpretation of international treaties and international law and undermines the promotion of Greek-Turkish relations”.
According to the official opposition party, “following the doctrine of downgrading the Turkish challenges, the government continues its communicative, micropolitical management of the Greek-Turkish people, as can be seen from the almost apologetic announcement – response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Turkish side”.
The official opposition party’s call to the government
Finally, SYRIZA – PS calls on the government “to immediately take the necessary diplomatic actions against this new Turkish provocation and to make it clear to the neighbor that such unacceptable and inflammatory statements burden Greek-Turkish relations”.
At the same time, as the official opposition party states, “mainly we call on the government to promote a structured national strategy in Greek-Turkish relations, in the context of the proposals we have submitted, instead of managing them with micropolitics, communication logic and an eye on its internal parties”.
