The president of SYRIZA-PS expressed his vertical disagreement with Mitsotaki’s strategy in foreign policy, regarding the Ukrainian crisis and the change of dogma, speaking to “Kriti TV”, during his tour.
“I have a vertical disagreement with Mitsotaki’s strategy in foreign policy and with the revision of the doctrine of Greece as a pillar of stability and multidimensional foreign policy and the accession to the doctrine of Papagou, of Greece as an advanced outpost. With the Mitsotakis option not to send humanitarian aid but to send offensive ammunition to Ukraine “which will not change the correlations but has a strong symbolism that Greece is part of the conflict, it is part of the crisis – I am very afraid that we are not even an advanced outpost of the West, we are advanced without any protection”.
Argued that “The prime minister, possibly appearing anti-Russian and pro-Western, expects Turkey not to upgrade in return. The opposite happens, we go to the center and Turkey is upgraded. I am afraid that this is a negative development for the country’s foreign policy and Mr. Mitsotakis is solely responsible for this development.».
Referring to the Greek-Turkish and recent statements of Vangelis Venizelos, he said: “I can not know what is the reason and the cause of this upheaval, what I know is that the country has a national strategy for decades, we have red lines, there is no case no government can accept the existence of gray areas in the Aegean, no government can accept the demilitarization of the islands. But at the same time we claim the settlement of our disputes on the basis of international law, and therefore the recourse possibly to The Hague for the determination of the continental shelf and the EEZ, with full respect for our sovereign rights and our national sovereignty. Then we can discuss joint development initiatives. Now, why did Mr. Venizelos make this statement, let him ask. “
Mr. Tsipras raised another issue as after the end of the Ukrainian crisis the EU shows that it will maintain the economic sanctions due to the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory. He said characteristically: “Will we have sanctions for the occupation of Ukraine while for a member state that is Cyprus where there has been occupation for 48 years we will not have sanctions?».
