“The president of the competent committee, Mrs. Dora Bakoyannis, has already announced that on Tuesday the foreign affairs and defense committeewhere the Minister of Foreign Affairs will inform all the parties, their representatives and the participants in the relevant committee of the Parliament, as he has done on other occasions for his meeting with his Turkish counterpartsaid the deputy minister to the prime minister and government representative Pavlos Marinakis during the briefing of the political editors, noting that on the same day, immediately after the completion of the entire program of Mr. Fidan’s visit, the foreign minister will give an interview on state television, in the bulletin ERT news.

“The meeting is a continuation of what was said and agreed upon between its two leaders Kyriakou Mitsotakis and the Turkish President. The aim of the meeting is the continuation of all the remaining topics on the agenda, namely bilateral relations, the positive agenda and the re-imaging of the climate of dialogue between the two countries. As for what we call the only difference that the country recognizes, they certainly won’t get to the bottom of it, but they will discuss the conditions under which we could get to the bottom of it. There are two conditions, and under these two conditions, Greece is not going to back down on the slightest issue under any circumstanceshe said.

“One is what are we talking about? This is the one basic condition and we we only discuss the determination of the EEZ and continental shelf and nothing else, no other matter, serving the eternal Greek, the eternal national position and the second are the principles of this debate and we discuss only this one difference, the determination of EEZ and continental shelf on the basis of international law and with no one else way. So this is something that has been said many times by the prime minister and the foreign minister will be saidhe added.

“And tomorrow this will be the discussion among others. So what are these conditions for Greece? And this is the only way to move forward on this issue. Beyond that, however, we will definitely try to continue this process of dialogue with the clear disagreements that exist, were and probably will exist because it has to provide a climate of security, a climate of calm, but without under any circumstances stressing it again and again, no issue of sovereignty and no case of retreating from permanent national positions should be even discussedhe said.

For the result of elections in the USA stated “Greece’s relations with the USA are deep, deep-rooted, of strategic importance and after his election Donald Trump there should be no worry and no doubt that we will also try, and we are optimistic, that they will become even more substantial».

“All these described dangers have nothing to do with reality. The prime minister had emphasized this in many interviews in the context of the pre-election period for the presidential elections of the United States of America, that we do not take a position, we will work with whoever electshe noted, recalling the meeting he had the prime minister with Mr. Pompeoand his meeting with Republican senators.

“Let me also recall that the Prime Minister was invited and applauded by both parties in Congress on both sideshe said.

“The second comment I have to make is this, it is neither a contribution nor a recommendation. Everyone does what they think let’s not point fingers and blame the voters of each country for their verdicthe noted.

“The third and last thing I want to say is a phrase that comes to me from the past as well. Beware of imitations,” said Mr. Marinakis.

“You know, after the election of Donald Trump, various people are projecting themselves onto the new US President or projecting our country on the United States of America, these are somewhat arbitrary conclusions and do not lead to something that has a homogeneity as logic,” he added.

Referring to the woke agenda said: “Unfortunately we have gone from one extreme of targeting people, excluding people, either because they have a certain sexual orientation, which we are against and will continue to be against. Unfortunately, the global community has often found itself at the other end, which has angered a part of the world, and I am not referring to Greece so much. I mean in general. So it’s certainly one parameter, it’s not the main parameter and it’s something we can’t turn a blind eye to. But our politics certainly does not adopt this logic and is not going to adopt this logic that irritated the citizens. For us every citizen has exactly the same rights. We are against the targeting of a citizen, we are against the separation of citizens, but we are not going to get to the other end of the exaggeration which has unfortunately dominated the public debate in too many cases and is something I want to make clear».

Regarding the voices on the right of the ND who blame the government for its choices, Mr. Marinakis said:Other words to love each other. Those who say we might be socialists or whatever, or leftists, or river please tell us specifically which of the benefits they think should be abolished.

Let someone show me another government that has reduced more taxes than the Mitsotakis governmenthe said.

“We prefer to talk about what we have done and what we want to do. We’re trying to grow the pie so we can run our economic program faster, push through even more tax breaks, especially for the middle class, but we’re going to do it consistently with accountability, not mud in the fan and buzzwords, the which I think are tiredhe noted.

Responding to a related question, the government representative said that the ND is the country’s major liberal center-right faction, which practices a substantial progressive policy and not a gimmicky progressive policy, such as that practiced by a number of parties that allegedly present themselves as progressive.

“Kyriakos Mitsotakis has given credentials not only for how essentially progressive he is, but also for how he has strengthened the country at the same time. Is it considered a right-wing agenda to kiss your borders, to reduce immigration flows by 80-85%, while there is a lot of pressure, to impose law and order?he said.

In a question about the meeting that took place on Saturday without the presence of Mr. Kikilia said: “There was a meeting at the level of the district and the management of some projects of the district, and not a meeting about civil protection issues.” “There is trust in all the members of the government and there is no issuehe added.
