Kyriakos Mitsotakis also mentioned the following topics:
ON TURKISH REACTIONS: Greece exercises its sovereignty and sovereign rights in the Aegean based on International Law and the Law of the Sea. Beyond that, I am also impressed by this completely unjustified reaction of Turkey, for an initiative which, following all, has an environmental nature. Greece will proceed with the creation of these marine parks, as I have pledged at the recent Oceans conference, which was organized in Athens. Allow me to make a more general remark: I do not consider that the improvement of Greek-Turkish relations, which is undeniable and measurable, automatically leads to the working hypothesis that Turkey’s basic positions regarding the critical issue of the delimitation of maritime zones in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean have change. These positions remain positions which are deeply problematic for our country. However, this does not prevent us from discussing.
FOR GREEK-TURKISH – CYPRUS: The conclusions are satisfactory for both Greece and Cyprus. It is absolutely clear that the progress of Euro-Turkish relations is obviously also affected by the developments in the Cyprus issue, which I would say is proven by the relevant paragraph in the conclusions.
FOR SESSION CONCLUSIONS
“I want to express my satisfaction with the conclusions, as they were formulated last night, and with regard to the issues concerning the Middle East. Particular emphasis was placed on the need for all parties to work so as to prevent a further escalation of this crisis and an extension of the conflicts. I think that is the main concern. And I want to emphasize, of course, that in addition to the self-evident support we provide to Israel in the face of the unprecedented attack it received from Iran, I also consider it extremely positive that there is still a reference to the situation in Gaza in the conclusions, where the humanitarian crisis is indeed such as to require an immediate ceasefire”.
ABOUT BELERIS: The candidacy of Freddy Beleris obviously has a very heavy symbolism, which I think everyone who is really interested, and not in words, in the rights of the Greek National Minority in Albania, realizes.
ABOUT THE EUROPEAN ELECTIONS: We know today that there are foreign powers that want to interfere in national elections to promote their own geopolitical agenda. We also know that AI tools are now such that it is very easy to release fake videos, fake audios.
I make an appeal, and in view of the European elections: citizens must be “suspicious”. Don’t think that any news, any video, any information circulated on social media is necessarily true. And to seek as objective and meaningful information as possible. There and your role, the role of the Mass Media, I would say is extremely important.
“Another commitment of ours is coming true! From today, self-employed, self-employed and farm mothers can submit their application for the maternity allowance. So that they receive for 9 months an amount equal to the current minimum wage. Based on the minimum wage that has been increased since April 1st in force today in our country, it is an amount of €830 per month, i.e. €7,470 in total”. This was emphasized by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his post, regarding the opening of the platform for the payment of the maternity allowance to non-employees – freelancers, self-employed women and farmers. Mr. Mitsotakis added: “So that they receive for 9 months an amount equal to the current minimum wage. Based on the minimum wage that has been increased since April 1st in force today in our country, it is an amount of €830 per month, i.e. €7,470 in total”.
