Anna Diamantopoulou immediately and sharply commented on the views of Antonis Samaras on foreign policy and relations with Turkey.

“I’m sorry that Mr. Samaras interpreted the foreign policy of the Post-colonization with party glasses as if only Konstantinos Karamanlis and himself practiced it” emphasized the head of Strategic Planning of PASOK-Movement for Change, succeeding in the panel of the conference on Foreign Policy in the Post-colonization organized by BIMA, the Delphi Forum and the Council of Strategic Studies the former prime minister.

In addition, Ms. Diamantopoulou underlined that “Greece cannot live permanently in fear of Turkey”, and reminded that Andreas Papandreou did not have an ethnocentric policy. “We achieved the ILO, the openings were made in the Arab countries, in the Non-Aligned. Under Simitis, we had Helsinki and Cyprus joined the EU, we joined the EMU as if these things happened by themselves. We will not move forward if we continue to read the present and the future of the country with the past”.
