Mr. Apostolakis spoke positively about these agreements, despite the fact that SYRIZA had voted against them in the Greek Parliament.
SKAI TV hosted the former Minister of Defense and advisor, today, Alexis Tsipras, Evangelos Apostolakiswho was invited to comment on the latest developments in Greek-Turkish.
Mr. Apostolakis, who served as minister under the SYRIZA-ANEL government, insisted that in the unfortunate scenario of an armed conflict with Turkey, Greece would be alone, but acknowledged that the country has strong alliances and good agreements.
“It makes sense to have alliances, to be supported, to create obligations towards them but to keep expectations low. “We have made two or three good agreements with the United States and France,” said Mr. Apostolakis.
Mr. Apostolakis spoke positively about these agreements, despite the fact that SYRIZA had voted against them in the Greek Parliament.
On the same wavelength were the statements of his adviser Alexis Tsipras on defense issues, both for the acquisition of the Belharra frigates and for the upgrade of the entire Armed Forces in general.
“The frigates are welcome, it is a well-worked program. Since 2009 there was a decision to take the ships. “Everything that is added to the Armed Forces is positive, it gives opportunities,” said Mr. Apostolakis, among others. We remind you, however, that SYRIZA in the vote on the bill for frigates and Rafale had preferred to declare “present”.
