Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Katrougalos meets with Lord Callanan, UK Minister of State for Exiting the European Union
A country leaving the European Union cannot have the same or greater rights than countries of the EU, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Katrougalos stated following his meeting with Lord Callanan, the UK Minister of State for Exiting the European Union.We do not want this negotiation process to be punitive, Mr. Katrougalos added. Unfortunately, we have experience of asymmetrical negotiations.The full text of the Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs’ statement is as follows:“We talked about the United Kingdom’s new proposals. We welcome the White Book, the package of proposals submitted by the United Kingdom, and we believe it is very useful for us to be able to negotiate in unity, as 27 member states, towards our common goal: to find a viable solution for Brexit. What neither side wants is for there to be no agreement: a ‘no deal’ Brexit. We must avoid this at all costs.At tomorrow’s meeting of the General Affairs Council, I will have the opportunity to set out Greece’s longstanding positions: that we want the UK to remain a strategic partner of the EU. The UK is leaving the EU. It isn’t leaving Europe. This means that, in sectors such as security, justice and external threats, we should continue to have a special relationship. We do not want this negotiation process to be punitive. Unfortunately, we have experience of asymmetrical negotiations.On the other hand, it is obvious that a country that is leaving the European Union cannot have the same or greater rights than EU countries. The UK is a traditional friend of Greece, and we want to safeguard this relationship in the future. As in the past, our states and peoples will continue to be strategic partners.”

Statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Kotzias, on the 44th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus
Forty-four years ago today, on 20 July 1974, Turkish military forces invaded Cyprus, seizing territory and dividing the island and its people in two. They left behind many victims and missing, as well as numerous violations of the most basic human rights. Thousands of Cypriots were forced to flee their homes and become refugees in their own country. The destructive mania of the invader also failed to respect religious and cultural heritage. Many Greek and Christian monuments suffered their barbarity. The Turkish Cypriots themselves were also victims of the Turkish invasion.Forty-four years later, Turkey continues, in Cyprus, to violate every notion of international law and to ignore the decisions of the United Nations. Cyprus, a member of the United Nations and the European Union, remains under the illegal military occupation of another member state of the United Nations.The key to a functional and viable solution to the Cyprus problem is to render the reunited state of Cyprus a normal modern state, to the benefit of the prosperity of all Cypriots. A state with full sovereignty, full independence and territorial integrity, free from foreign occupation forces, foreign dependencies and unilateral interventions of third countries in its internal affairs. These conditions are set out in the proposals the Secretary-General of the United Nations presented at the Conference on Cyprus, in Crans Montana, Switzerland. Constructive proposals that only Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot community objected to, persisting in their anachronistic and intransigent stances for keeping the Turkish military forces in Cyprus and maintaining Turkey’s unilateral ‘right’ to intervene in the internal affairs of Cyprus. We hope that the recent appointment of an envoy of the UN Secretary-General will give new impetus in the efforts to settle the Cyprus problem.Greece continues to stand supportively by the side of Cyprus, Cypriot Hellenism and the Cypriot people as a whole, with the goal of the island’s reunification into a sovereign and independent Cyprus state.

Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Katrougalos attends meeting of EU General Affairs Council (Brussels, 20 July 2018)
Addressing the meeting of the EU General Affairs Council on Brexit, which was held in Brussels today, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Katrougalos expressed our country’s full support for EU negotiator Michel Barnier, who will be carrying out a visit to Greece next week.Although the UK’s recent White Book is a positive step, Mr. Katrougalos added, it continues to be at some distance from European positions and the conditions of the negotiations, which creates serious risks of a ‘disorderly’, no-deal Brexit. This would be the worst possible outcome and must be avoided.Our country, Mr. Katrougalos concluded, is preparing for all scenarios, attaching special importance to the protection of the rights of the Greeks living in the UK, protection of agricultural products and geographical designations, and tourism, education and shipping issues.

Mark Wallinger: The Human Figure in Space review – giant leaps
JERWOOD GALLERY, HASTINGS Ingeniously manipulated images and films of people trying to fly or stay airborne give a humorous twist to the Icarus myth Icarus, in the Greek myth, tries to escape the island of Crete wearing wings of wax and feather. He flies too high and the sun melts his contraption. The dream of flight fails, a moment depicted by Bruegel in his masterpiece _Landscape __With __the Fall of Icarus_ as perhaps less heroic than absurd. Bruegel’s Icarus is nothing more than a pair of tiny legs, barely seen at the bottom of the picture: joke limbs vanishing into the ocean. This is very much the spirit of Mark Wallinger’s new show beside the sea in Hastings. Icarus everywhere presides. You see him made modern in a gallery of outlandish photographs of English men and women lurching into midair; in a sequence of films expressly titled _Landscape With the Fall of Icarus_; in a mirrored installation and an antic ballet on video. He is the inspiration for Wallinger’s ruminations on bodies moving through space and falling back to Earth. The smallest version of this event – the most modest flight, as it were – being the humble human leap. Continue reading...
