“Turkey remains unrepentant. Turkey remains a revisionist force that offends and undermines international law. And the European Union and other powerful powers of the world have a huge responsibility for allowing this behavior in Turkey,” said Nikos Androulakis, the president of PASOK – KINAL, from Ioannina, where he is today Monday.
He also added that “states that are in NATO, states of the European Union and other powerful world powers cannot have major collaborations in armaments programs with a country that undermines the stability of the wider region”.
The president of PASOK – KINAL is currently having a meeting with the Regional Union of Epirus Municipalities, while in the evening at 8 o’clock he will speak at a political event at the Hotel Du Lac.
The statement of Nikos Androulakis on the Cyprus issue:
“These days I was in Cyprus, in Megalonisos, for the black anniversary of Attila’s fiftieth anniversary. Attila who left behind thousands of dead, missing, thousands of Greek Cypriots who were removed from their ancestral homes. I was in Cyprus to express my solidarity with President Nikos Christodoulidis, for the need to resume talks to find a sustainable solution, based on the resolutions of the United Nations Organization. To express our support to the families of the victims. To the families of the people who even today keep their memories alive and hope that the solution can give them hope and perspective for a united island.
But unfortunately, let’s be honest. The statements of Erdogan and other Turkish politicians show the scope and horizon of finding a sustainable solution. When the president of Turkey calls Attila a peaceful operation that left behind thousands of dead and a huge disaster, we understand that the hopes are few.
Unfortunately, Turkey remains unrepentant. Turkey remains a revisionist force that offends and undermines international law. And the European Union and other powerful world powers have a huge responsibility for allowing this behavior in Turkey. For this, I repeat, we want a sustainable solution. But, if Turkey continues any such effort, aiming to divide the island, then there is no other way than economic sanctions and of course an arms embargo. States that are in NATO, states of the European Union and other powerful countries of the world cannot have large collaborations in armaments programs with a country that undermines the stability of the wider region”.
