Minister of Foreign Affairs G. Katrougalos’ address at the Ceremony for the Cem-Papandreou Peace Award (Athens, 03.06.2019)
“Dear President, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, friends,Ιt is both a pleasure and an honor for me to address this important event, the Ceremony for the Cem-Papandreou Peace Award, awarded to Mr. Bach.One would say that the late Foreign Minister of Turkey and the then Foreign Minister of Greece and later Prime Minister, have started what we would call in Hollywood terms “Mission Impossible”: friendship and peace between Turkey and Greece. Is it attainable?Many of you may not remember that the historic leader of Greece, Eleftherios Venizelos, some years after the signature of the Lausanne Treaty, had proposed that the “father” of modern Turkey, Kemal Ataturk, be the recipient of the Nobel Laureate for Peace.Nothing is impossible. Peace and respect of International Law are the foundations of Greek foreign policy. It is true that the situation is not ideal, on many occasions, with our neighbors. We have to face often the challenges of a revisionist stance, but we have decided to respond to all provocations that we may receive with the same determination and respect to International Law, having always in mind as guiding principles for our actions peace, respect of international law and friendship. Because we are confident about our national rights, as they are founded on International Law, and we are also confident in our force to deter any challenges to these rights.I believe firmly in the friendship between the Greek and the Turkish people. We have a lot in common. This commitment to friendship was the foundation for the common effort of Papandreou and Cem for peace.And of course, sports is what brings the people together generally and more specifically in the framework of the Olympic Games, a historical institution going back to Ancient Greece.The Greek government is a great proponent of the importance of sports in the political and diplomatic arena, in order to promote the common goals of friendship between people and peace. At the initiative of the former Minister of Tourism, Elena Kountoura, our government has ensured the establishment of a new international organization under the auspices of the United Nations for the promotion of tourism and sports. It is our firm belief that this is the best way for having a better world tomorrow.And I am especially pleased that this award goes to President Bach, an Olympic Athlete but also a leader with vision for the Olympic Movement. I think that this is the best choice for an award which demonstrates both the necessity of having the people competing, not with lethal weapons, but in the noble arena of athletics. That was the Ancient Greek Olympic Idea and this continues to be an inspiring value for all of us.So, congratulations to President Bach, congratulations to George Papandreou for this initiative, and again thank you very much for inviting me to be here today.”

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Markos Bolaris’s address at the Berlin Climate and Security Conference 2019 (Berlin, 4 June, 2019)
“Excellencies,Ladies and Gentlemen, First, I would like to thank the hosts for this Conference, set timely ahead of the Climate Summit in September this year. Migration and displacement are only two of the dimensions of climate change. Specifically, we are faced with accentuated problems from irregular migration and migrant smuggling. In those terms, the Eastern Mediterranean Route continues to be the most heavily affected. The EU-Turkey Joint Statement of 2016 should remain a priority. We expect closer cooperation with the Turkish side, for a more efficient control of the flows, to bring them to a halt.In per capita terms, Greece is the second member-state of the E.U., after Cyprus, and third in absolute numbers, after Germany and France, in asylum requests in 2018. We have: • five hot-spots and we have established 8 pre-departure centers, both in the islands and the mainland• 26 open reception facilities• accommodation in apartments under the ESTIA programme• accommodation in hotels under a scheme run the IOM, and• dedicated facilities for unaccompanied minorsGreece has already exhausted its capacity.What is needed:• reception and asylum capacity are not constantly expandable. Fair sharing of responsibilities in examining asylum requests, reception and final returns is necessary• any arrangement should respect international law provisions on search and rescue, and the responsibilities of coordination centers• any post-disembarkation burden sharing should apply to all migration routes.Furthermore:• Legislative proposals to reform the Common European Asylum System are interlinked and should be viewed as a package. Yet, they advance at a differentiated pace.Allocation must remain an integral part of the Dublin Proposal. Until the new Dublin Regulation is adopted and effectively enters into force, urgent transitional schemes of genuine solidarity and fair responsibility toward states of first entry are needed, with mandatory allocation / relocation as an integral part. Broad cooperation with countries of origin and transit is also needed, to address the root causes of migration, fight against smugglers and enhance returns.Following the E.U.'s decision to reinvigorate the migration dialogue with Iraq, we expect the Union to give the same leverage to all countries in the East Med Route (Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey), and the countries in the region (Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt etc.). The progress made thus far with Libya should be consolidated, and cooperation with the Sahel countries should be developed. We should continue to work within the framework of the African Union-EU-United Nations Task Force, to evacuate migrants from Libya and accelerate resettlement. Climate change also affects our history. Damage on the integrity of world monuments of an outstanding universal value may become irreversible.In this respect, the Greek Government will convene in 21-22 June 2019, in Athens, an International Conference, titled “Impacts of Climate Change on Cultural Heritage: Facing the Challenge”. The Conference will seek to raise awareness and encourage global action on this issue, contributing at the same time to the goals of the Climate Summit in September 2019.”
