Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Sia Anagnostopoulou’s interview on News 24/7 radio with journalists E. Triantafyllou, M. Chorianopoulos and G. Karelias (14 June 2019)
Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Sia Anagnostopoulou gave an interview today to News 24/7 radio and journalists Elli Triantafyllou, Manos Chorianopoulos and Giorgos Karelias. Ms Anagnostopoulou referred to the Turkish provocativeness and the violations at the Cypriot EEZ, noting, “We are always prepared, always on alert. Cyprus is not alone. We are working closely with Cyprus and, of course, the European Union, which, as we saw during the recent Council in Sibiu, Romania, denounces and condemns Turkey’s provocative stance. We are fully cooperating. We are not afraid; we are monitoring what is happening in the entire area, but mainly in Cyprus. Cyprus has the European Union, international law and Greece by its side. Things are under complete control. Cyprus is anything but alone.”With regard to Turkey in particular, the Alternate Minister stated, “It seems that over the last few years with Mr Erdogan, Turkey has been following a revisionist policy and that does not make things easy in the area, but creates disturbances. Turkey istrapped in its own policy; it has opened up major issues without having the alliances it should. And while it had set off with zero problems with its neighbours, it is at a point where it has some sort of problem with each of its neighbours. That’s not good. On the part of Greece, we believe that Turkey must remain on its European course, both for internal and democratisation reasons and for reasons of peace and stability in the area.”With regard to Greece’s foreign policy, Ms Anagnostopoulou noted, “In the last few years, the country has managed to create a web of alliances and agreements in the entire area. It has managed to become a country with regional, European and international friends. We are seeing that there are cores of instability in our area. What a serious country should do is to create an opening, a web, a network of interrelationship and solidarity partnerships.” The Alternate Minister also added, “I would also like to mention the Prespa Agreement, which raised a lot of dust and was used as a tool. Just imagine our northern borders being a black hole, without any cooperation. That would not have been at all good for Greece. Our foreign policy has been such over the last few years that allows us to be on alert on the one hand, but without any major concerns on the other.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Katrougalos’ interview with the newspaper “Kyriakatiki Kontra News” and journalist C. Kympizi
C. KYMPIZIS: So is the government coping with the political cost of the Prespa Agreement?G. KATROUGALOS: Our criterion for signing the Prespa Agreement was the national interest, not any potential party gains or losses. However, although it is true that there was a comparatively large drop in our rates in Northern Greece, this was not the reason for the electoral loss. I am sure that as time goes by, the essence of the Agreement as well as the financial benefits for the country will become clearer, and especially for our Macedonia, as it has taken on once again a leading position in the Balkan economic area.C. KYMPIZIS: A few days ago, Kostas Simitis noted that he is not “ruling outa new Imia situation”. How likely do you consider the risk of an accident with Turkey?G. KATROUGALOS: There will be no Imia again because the current situation is radically different: The international prestige of our country is more upgraded and our diplomatic alliances stronger. Turkey is completely isolated, with its actions being condemned as illegal and provocative by the USA and the EU. In any case, given that we never leave anything to chance, we are continuing our talks on the trust-building measures, so as to diffuse the tension and avert any accident due to it.C. KYMPIZIS: How would you rate your work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?G. KATROUGALOS: I started off at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with two major items on my agenda: the country’s European policy and the economic diplomacy. I worked to form a necessary alliance of progressive powers for amore democratic and social Europe. In the area of economy, I worked closely with representatives from the business arena, in a joint effort to boost the outward-looking potential of the economy, with quite positive results, reflected by the significant rise in exports and the signing of a series of significant agreements. Apart from the significant support from the qualified Ministry staff, I also had the chance to work with probably the most outward- looking Prime Minister since the regime change of 1974, who put his personal seal on all dimensions of foreign policy and elevated the country’s prestige to unprecedented levels. After the departure of Nikos Kotzias, I worked even closer with him and he honoured me by placing me at the Ministry’s wheel. I believe that my main achievement was the climate of national agreement vis-a-vis the challenges of our difficult neighbour in the east, but also the strategic improvement of our relations with the USA and China, which are currently at the highest level ever.
