“The Greek foreign policy in times of crisis is an active, responsible policy implemented through initiatives. It is a policy that does not want to divide, but to unite. A policy that does not want to be subordinated to the past, but to make good use of it for the future,” Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias said during his speech at the Centre for European Studies and Humanities St.Antony’s College in Oxford. Kotzias referred to the role that Greece wants to play as a catalytic force to solve problems in a transitional era where geopolitics surpasses ideology. The Foreign Minister stressed the importance of the interconnection of foreign policy with the other fields of international negotiations, such as the one carried out for the Greek debt as a means to ensure new opportunities for economic and social policy of the country. Referring to the European Union, Kotzias said that “from a rule of law tends to evolve into a new kind of empire, in which the Brussels’ bureaucracy, the financial markets and Berlin (the so-called New Rome) play a special role and have specific rights” and stressed the importance of returning to its founding values.
