54211 - Against the Turkish provocations

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Those who insist that there is a Greek-Turkish friendship, not only lie, but they also enhance the provocations of Turkey who takes advantage of this sort of servility.
Under the pretext of the so-called reconciliation, they promote the despicable Turkish positions. For this reason, it is important to clarify before all, the Greek positions and specifically those regarding the EEZ issue.
We can not allow a Turkish seismic vessel, even though it does not carry out seismic surveys, to circulate within our own regions.
We should not merely observe it and just make noise in order for it not to result in data recordings.
We ought to formally do live-fire exercises or not so, in the event of every Navtex issued by Turkey upon our continental shelf and within our EEZ, because it constitutes a way of making it clear in actual fact, that they have no value whatsoever, not only legally but strategically as well.
We all understand that the dictator of Turkey is trying with these distraction tactics, for the Turkish nation to avoid dealing with the issue of the collapse of the economy and specifically the Turkish pound.
It is for that reason that we ought to be united against the Turkish propaganda, because the political party approaches don’t get national outcomes.
In actual fact, Turkey relies upon legal approaches in order to take advantage of the situation.
Consequently, it is wise to be ready on all fronts, so as to not allow Turkey to play in her chosen way, just because we have a relaxed approach toward the entire issue.
