We cannot talk about the continuation of accession negotiations, which have already been frozen due to human rights violations inside the country, said Mr. Androulakis.
“Consistency of words and actions is required so that the “moderate new beginning in Greek-Turkish relations” which the Prime Minister spoke of, is not denied again” says the president of PASOK, Nikos Androulakis, in his statement, commenting on the meeting between Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Erdogan in Vilnius.
The statement of Mr. Androulakis in detail
The existence of open channels of communication with the neighboring country is essential for building good neighborly relations.
But they must be based on the respect of international law and the avoidance of provocations by Turkey.
Consistency of words and actions is required so that the “moderate new beginning in Greek-Turkish relations” that the Prime Minister spoke of, is not denied again.
The US decision to modernize 80 Turkish F-16 fighters and sell 40 new aircraft is not a positive development.
European Union-Turkey relations cannot be determined by NATO, but only by the European institutions.
Turkey’s accession perspective is a chimera.
We cannot talk about the continuation of accession negotiations, which have already been frozen due to human rights violations inside the country.
The only solution is a special EU-Turkey relationship, based on upgrading the customs union and ensuring respect for our sovereign rights with an automated sanctions framework.
