“You saw the NGO that apologized and said that the 38 migrants were not on Greek territory in Evros. Unfortunately, Turkey’s propaganda was quickly adopted by political forces here, even with questions in the European Parliament”

The country will not become an “open vineyard” again, the government representative told SKAI and Giorgos Autias Giannis Oikonomou referring to reports of migrants gathering in eight cities in Turkey with the aim of a “new siege on the Evros”. The issue was first reported by SKAI’s Istanbul correspondent Manolis Kostidis.

“We have our eyes and ears open and we have our mind on the borders, so that our country does not become an overgrown vine again, and in the Aegean with the men and women of the port corps, and in the Evros with the fence that will be gradually extended along the entire length of the river always respecting the our humanitarian obligations and international rules” clarified the government representative.

“The country has borders, and we must protect these borders against any threat, and hybrid threat. Turkey systematically exploits the pain of the unfortunate to create problems in Greece and in Europe,” he noted.

“You saw the NGO who apologized said that the 38 migrants were not on Greek territory in Evros. Unfortunately, Turkey’s propaganda was quickly adopted by political forces here, even with questions in the European Parliament.” “Let’s be very careful when we adopt these kinds of rumors that hurt the country, not the government” added Yannis Oikonomou.

Complete lifting of arms embargo in Cyprus

For complete removal of the US arms embargo on Cyprus commented that “the messages that Ankara receives are continuous that this policy is completely dead-end, and its rhetoric and the challenges it makes in the field. The latest example is Cyprus. What have we been hearing lately about the F-16? “Erdogan gets everything”, the process for the F-16s (in Turkey) is frozen and in contrast to them, the complete lifting of the embargo for Cyprus has come.”

As Mr. Economou pointed out, “Turkey’s dead-end moves, constant provocation and revisionism do not go over well on the international stage, and do not panic Greece.”
