The Turkolibyy Memorandum is non -existent, invalid and does not produce any legal effect, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis reiterated from TIF, stressing that Greece is practicing sovereignty and sovereign rights in the field, while in contact with both sides.

Concerning relations with Turkey, the prime minister said that Greece’s planning is not subject to Turkey’s approval, and made it clear that if Ankara does not recall Casus Belli, Greece would block Turkey’s participation in the Safe program.

In particular, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that “Greece has proven that it has its sovereignty in a different way than in the past. I seek calm waters, but from a position of power and confidence, without discounts on the country’s national sovereignty. Marine parks are the exercise of our country’s sovereignty to protect territorial waters in the southern Aegean. I still talk to Mr Erdogan, we have honest contacts, but it is clear that Casus Belli must be revoked. As long as this is and continues Turkish revisionism against Greece, Greece will block Turkey’s participation in the European SAFE program, as it is possible to do. “

At the same time, asked about the issue of the cable with Cyprus and whether he knew Nicosia’s intentions or was taken aback even if he had a picture of the prosecutor’s office as well as the “right time” to proceed with the project, the prime minister wanted to describe the great picture of an important electricity project.

He explained that because Cyprus is energy isolated and the EU was chosen by the EU.

“Our intention is to start and be completed, but obviously Cyprus must also prove that this work wants.”

At the same time he wanted to point out that electric interconnection with Cyprus is not the only priority project on links and referred to the interconnection with Crete, the Dodecanese and Egypt.

He estimated that we would soon have clear visibility from Cyprus that this project wants and means it and we will be able to move on to the next stages.
