Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ statement following his meeting in Lisbon with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal (13.01.2021)
«Thank you so much, senor Ministro. [A few words in Portuguese] I am sorry that’s as far as I can go in Portuguese.I would like first of all to congratulate you and Portugal on assuming the Presidency of the European Union Council for the next 6 months. And it’s clear that you have a very challenging task ahead of you, but I am so confident that you will do an excellent job. And if I may say, Greece will fully support your efforts. We were for many years, the two European Union members – Greece and Portugal – that were further apart geographically: one on the eastern edge, other on the western edge of Europe. But we are both southern countries, we joined in the 80s following a period of political instability for both of us, we are similar to the sense of size, we have many things in common.My visit today comes just two days after Prime Minister Mitsotakis was here, who met his counterpart Prime Ministe Antonio Costa. The focus of our discussions with my dear friend Augusto today was on several issues. First of all, the priorities of the Portuguese Presidency, the developments in Eastern Mediterranean, migration, the European Union enlargement process.I was briefed extensively by the Minister on the priorities of the Presidency. I underlined during our meeting that in this regard Greece fully supports the key issues that will be addressed in this context. Enhancing the transatlantic relations with the US, we would help in any way on this regard. Hosting a summit between EU and India, we remain absolutely convinced that we should enhance our relationship with this emerging world power, this big democracy. I am looking forward also to meeting with my Indian counterpart as soon as conditions will allow. We had a meeting in Athens which had to be canceled because of COVID. And of course, we look very much forward to the European Union-Africa Summit. We seek to enhance the relations with the African continent. I have invested in this endeavor and I will continue to do so. And Portugal’s role, which has special ties with Africa, especially with the lusophone countries, can be of pivotal importance. Regarding the Eastern Mediterranean, I had the opportunity to inform Minister Santos Silva on the latest developments. I underlined that despite the relative calm on the past few weeks the situation remains very volatile. I stressed that Greece is always ready and willing to engage in a constructive dialogue with Turkey, but of course on the basis of International Law, and in order to discuss that single issue that needs to be addressed, the delimitation of Exclusive Economic Zone and the continental shelf in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean. In the spirit of the above, following an invitation by the Turkish side, it has been agreed that we are going to have the next round of the exploratory talks in Istanbul on the 25th of January. In this context, let me underline that the December 2020 European Council conclusions called not just for a sustained de-escalation for the resumption of these exploratory talks, but also for a smooth continuation. So, we look forward to a constructive attitude from Turkey and to the abstention from any provocation from their side.With my colleague we addressed migration thoroughly. I have to express my thanks as Greece for Portugal’s support in this endeavor. By accepting the relocation of refugees on its territory Portugal has given a great example, and also by contributing to the protection of the European Union’s external borders. Greece, as an European Union frontline state is calling for an equitable migration and asylum pact that will ensure a just and fair sharing of the burden among our family, the European Union member states. Last but not least, I discussed with my Portuguese counterpart the issue of the European Union enlargement process. The countries of the Western Balkans are looking towards Europe and they are undertaking reforms in order to be able to join our European family. Greece’s position is that we should keep the door open and encourage them, as much as we can, in this path. Failure to do so will not only endanger the reforms, but will endanger the European experiment in its totality. My dear colleague, muito obrigado, thank you so much for hosting me today.»

From Syria to the Naples mafia: Record amphetamine bust raises questions
Italian authorities have recently uncovered a worrying new side to the international illegal drugs trade, with origins in Syria. Amphetamine pills, produced in the war-torn country, are being trafficked to Europe, something police were unaware of until just a few months ago. The amphetamines, such as Captagon, have also been seized in Greece, Egypt, Turkey and Romania. Our correspondents report on what this means for Italy and the role played by the Neapolitan mafia in this murky drug trafficking ring.

Statements of Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias following his meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, in Rome (13 January 2021)
“Today, we had very interesting and sincere talks with my Italian counterpart, Mr. Di Maio. We covered a number of topics. Bilateral relations – the ratification by Italy of our agreement on maritime zones – as well as economic issues. But we also talked about wider issues that concern the region, the Turkish provocative behaviour. I briefed him on the resumption of the exploratory talks on 25 January, Turkey’s broader conduct in the Eastern Mediterranean, and also issues concerning Libya and the Eastmed. The migration issue was also on the agenda. I think it is extremely useful for us to have an ongoing and sincere exchange of views with Italy. I made it clear that, while we respect their decision and their stance, Greece would like to see stronger Italian support on the sanctions issue.”

You sound like you live well, writes advice columnist ELEANOR GORDON-SMITH. Don’t be fooled into a view of success based on values that aren’t your own I HAVE RECENTLY MOVED BACK WITH MY PARENTS IN MY EARLY 30S AFTER OVER 10 YEARS OF LIVING INDEPENDENTLY, AND WHILE MY PARENTS LOVE HAVING ME HERE AND WE HAVE A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP, I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM FAILING AT THE LINEAR LIFE PATH THAT NEARLY ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE LIVING. MOST OF MY FRIENDS ARE SETTLING DOWN IN RELATIONSHIPS, BUYING PROPERTIES, EXCELLING IN THEIR CAREERS. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN SINGLE FOR OVER EIGHT YEARS AND DO NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT A PARTNER. I DON’T WANT TO SETTLE AND DATING GAY MEN IS DIFFICULT IF YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE A GREEK ADONIS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY JOB BUT I WORK FOR A CHARITY, WHICH MEANS I DON’T GET THOSE SALARIES MY FRIENDS IN FINANCIAL SERVICES GET AND IT’S HARD TO EXCEL UP THE CAREER LADDER QUICKLY BECAUSE OF LIMITED ROLES, AND I HAVE MINIMAL SAVINGS SO THE PROSPECT OF HOME OWNERSHIP IS NOTHING SHORT OF A FANTASY. WHY DO I FEEL SO STRESSED AND SAD ABOUT THIS? I KNOW WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN PATHS IN LIFE AND THE STANDARD LINE LIFE ISN’T SO PERFECT. BUT I JUST FEEL AS THOUGH I AM GETTING OLDER AND MISSING OUT ON THOSE MILESTONES THAT I SHOULD BE AND DO WANT TO BE EXPERIENCING. DOES THIS GET EASIER AND DO YOU CARE LESS AS YOU GET OLDER?

Interventions of Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias in the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defense and Foreign Affairs during the consideration of the Foreign Ministry’s draft law on “Determining the breadth of territorial waters in the maritime zone of the Ionian and the Ionian Islands up to Tainaro” INTRODUCTORY INTERVENTIONLadies and gentlemen, colleagues, as you know, Mr. Chairman, I don't usually take the floor at the beginning of a session. Only at the end, when I have heard all of our colleagues. But allow me – due to the historic nature of this moment, as this is the first time since 1947 that the Hellenic Parliament has been called upon to increase the area of national sovereignty – to say that the government recommends that the National Delegation use our country’s inalienable right to increase our territorial waters in the region of the Ionian Sea, up to Tainaro, from 6 to 12 nautical miles. This will increase the area of national sovereignty by 10,079 square kilometres, and if one also takes into account the area created by the legal closing of bays, in accordance with international law, it exceeds 13,000 square kilometres. As I assume that no one has kept the numbers in their head since we did geography in school, for purposes of comparison it is worth noting that the total area of Greece is 131,000 square kilometres. The area of Crete, to give you a clearer example, is a little over 8,500 square kilometres. So, it is a great honour for me, on behalf of the Mitsotakis government, to recommend that the Hellenic Parliament pass this draft law. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. SECOND INTERVENTIONMr. Chairman, colleagues, I will be extremely brief following the long process. First of all, I would like to thank the parties and my colleagues for truly showing national solidarity. We didn’t have the usual climate of disagreements, the effort for some to score political points. There was broad consensus on the key position, which, as many colleagues rightly said, was not, in the past, the standing stance of Greek foreign policy.This stance is a product of an internal procedure, both at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the country’s political system, and it is extremely important that this approach is being met with broad national consensus, support, agreement and solidarity. Allow me to include the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in this framework. The framework of national solidarity. Beyond that, there isn’t much that one can say. Greece is exercising a sovereign right. It is exercising it in the Ionian, up to Tainaro. Greece – and I say this so that it can be recorded in the minutes and be heard in this hall, but mainly beyond this hall – fully reserves its right to extend its territorial waters and exercise its national sovereign rights. It is inconceivable that, in any way, it might renounce any of these rights. I repeat the words of the country’s Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, by saying that the next phase will concern the area south of Crete. The relevant studies are under way on that. By the same token, Greek fully retains the right to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles in the Aegean as well. In this regard, I would like to note as extremely important – verging on the historic – the statement of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov during his visit to Athens a few weeks ago, in which he made perfectly clear his country’s position on our country’s sovereign right. Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, during the time the Prime Minister has honoured me with the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, I have followed one rule that, on his instructions, I shall continue to follow. To keep the parties abreast of the tactical moves of Greek foreign policy. I say tactical moves because I believe that the strategic moves follow the basic lines on which the country has agreed. In this context, as the party representatives know, we will be meeting next Monday. So, if there are any questions on the details that led to the resumption of the exploratory talks, I will be prepared to respond and clarify. We’re not talking about a conspiracy or anything that should take up the time of the Hellenic Parliament.Regarding the text of the legislation, I have noted the technical legal changes requested by my dear friend the rapporteur of the main opposition party. We will look at it during this time. Today, in any case, we will propose a technical legal change that I will submit in the report on the presidential decree closing the bays. We will add the “as applicable in each case,” because at some point the country may want to amend this in some way. And I think there is a matter of the Gulf of Corinth that might be worth looking at. Regarding what you said to me, Mrs. Sakorafa, if you like, on Monday – so as not to go into a technical matter here – I would be happy to clarify it for you. I’ve checked it. I think this was an exceptional day in the Hellenic Parliament. A day of unanimity, solidarity, national understanding, national consensus. One of the rare such occasions in the life of an MP, a Minister. I’m deeply moved. I thank you warmly for your stance, which fully serves the national interest. Thank you very much.
