“What do I want of Turkey have value, Mr Tsafos and Mr Mitsotakis?” Asks party spokesman George Karameros
In removal from the government of the new Deputy Minister of Energy Nikos Tsafou insists on SYRIZA, who also refers to his second earlier post, about Turkey.
As he mentions speaking to Attica tv SYRIZA’s spokesman, George Caramerthe party “called on Monday Mitsotakis to withdraw Mr Tsafos from the government, because he called” Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus “the occupied Cyprus. And even when he was pointed out to him, he said that “I made a mistake, I wrote it when I had no professional relationship with the Greek government”. As if it is a matter of professional relationship with the Greek government. And, because he said that we question his patriotism, we did not question Mr Tsafos’ patriotism. Minister cannot be. And Deputy Minister of Energy, to sit with the Turks or the Israelis to discuss the financial zones. “
Mr. Karameros also refers to a second post made by Mr. Tsafos and says:
“In another post on July 29, 2020, Mr Tsafos says in English, and I read the translation directly: ” The controversy between Greece and Turkey is not about energy. It’s not even a disagreement. Some of what Turkey wants are worth. Other claims are irrational ”. And I ask Mr. Tsoffos and Mr. Mitsotakis who holds him in his place: What are these ” I want ” of Turkey? I really wonder. Let us explain to us why he remains in this position, which of what Turkey wants are worth? There are no gray zones in the Aegean. And if there is a difference, there is the continental shelf on the basis of international law to be judged at some point. Mr Tsafos cannot remain in such a critical position as the position of the Deputy Minister of Energy, with these views. Because they are opinions. In the first phase, when he named the occupied ” Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus ”, Mr Tsafos says he wrote it because he had no professional relationship with the government at that time. It appears here that in his other positions as an analyst, an excellent scientist, otherwise, he talks about some of what Turkey wants and “have value”. To tell us, what are they worth and what Turkey wants? Because for us it is unthinkable, as for the Greek people, any retreat. “
Turkey in east med energy is like a loud uncle at your wedding. Except it’s a zoom wedding and you can mute your uncle, and once you do, everyone carries on as before – but your uncle is still at home, Drunk, Alone, Yelling at the Phone. That’s Turkey and East Med Energy.

“When we have a man sitting on the table with Turkey, who will sit with his peer of Turkey, and says that some of what Turkey wants are worth, cannot stand in the cabinet. It’s very simple. We insist on calling for the resignation of Tsafou, because what arises is not a matter of selfishness for the prime minister. Because I read that Mr. Doxiadis, whatever Mr. Mitsotakis asked him, Mr. Doxiadis did not leave him room for him. If Mr Tsafos is not allowed to leave and get him out of the difficult position now, and Mr. Mitsotakis himself and the country, what can I say, I leave it to the judgment of the citizens, “says George Karameros.
