The Minister of Citizen Protection also spoke about Greece’s attitude towards Turkish provocation
“It is the government’s final decision to create a 140-kilometer fence on the Evros,” he said on SKAI and on the show “Kalimera” with Giorgos Autiasthe Minister of Citizen Protection, Takis Theodorikakos.
In detail, he emphasized that “in Evros, the Greek police, with their presence, prevented the illegal invasion of the country by 256,000 illegal immigrants. KYSEA has decided and it is the responsibility of the civil protection ministry to implement it, to build the fence along the entire length of the river Evros, that is, on the borders of Greece and Europe with Turkey. It has a total length of 140 kilometers.
»The immediate decision that exists is to build the first 35 km at the central point, with a budget of 100 million euros, for which the Ministry of Civil Protection, in collaboration with the Ministry of National Defense, has completed the study and we are waiting for the formal approval of the Ministry. Finance to make a quick and direct competition”.
No one can threaten even a millimeter of Greek land, air and sea
Referring to the continuous Turkish provocations, Mr. Theodorikakos emphasized:
“It is clear that Erdogan’s difficulties determine his political moves and the constant provocative statements with which they believe they can affect our relations.
Greece cannot be threatened by anyone. He rejects challenges with composure and absolute determination. The Turkish leadership knows that in the last 3.5 years with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, our country has been strengthened strategically, militarily, is respectable and no one, no one can threaten even a millimeter of Greek land, air or sea.
Therefore, wherever they take their challenges, they must know that there is absolutely no room for them to do the slightest thing.
Yesterday I believe it was a highly symbolic day, with the prime minister in Gavdos, which showed the calmness and determination of the Greek government, showed a strong message of Greek unity, which I believe the Turks have taken, they have been disturbed and that is why they are saying these nonsense.
Greece is moving with prudence and determination. Certainly when there are provocative actions they do not go unanswered. But we are not going to accept suggestions from anyone about how we will move, because Greece always moves within the framework of international law.”
Finally, regarding the elections and when they will be held, he emphasized that only the prime minister knows.
