“The coordinates given for the islet where the migrants were trapped were outside of Greece” states the Minister of Citizen Protection
“Lessons on national sovereignty from the former prime minister, who does not know that there are borders in the sea, we do not accept”, emphasizes the Takis Theodorikakosin response to the statements of the leader of SYRIZA Alexis Tsipras, who strongly criticized the government, accusing it of “lies about wiretapping” and “lies about the ‘cursed people of Evros'”.
The Minister of Citizen Protection, in his reply to Mr. Tsipras, reiterates that the coordinates given for the island where the migrants were trapped were outside Greece and when they crossed into Greek territory they were rescued by the Greek Police.
Concluding, the minister underlines: “If Mr. Tsipras wants us to open the borders of Greece and for anyone to enter freely without control as in his days, let him say so directly. We hand him over to the judgment of the Greek people.”
The entire statement of Mr. Theodorikakos
“Lessons of national sovereignty from the former prime minister, who does not know that there are borders in the sea, we do not accept.
In the small-party blindness of his space, Mr. Tsipras does not find a single word to condemn the modern slave traders and the Turkish side that exploits unhappy people.
Instead, it uncritically adopts accusations and complaints that slander Greece, the Greek police, who have saved thousands of lives.
The truth is that the coordinates given by third parties to an islet in Evros are outside Greek territory, according to an official opinion of the Geographical Service of the Greek Army, and that is why the Greek Police could not operate there.
When the illegal immigrants were found in Greek territory, they were rescued by the Greek Police and now all the procedures prescribed by our Laws and international law are followed.
This is the truth and the reality, even if Mr. Tsipras refuses to recognize it.
If Mr. Tsipras wants to open the borders of Greece and for anyone to enter freely without control as in his days, let him say so directly.
We hand him over to the judgment of the Greek people.”
