Response of the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a journalist’s question on the management of the Nile’s waters

Responding to a journalist’s question regarding the issue of the management of the Nile’s waters and the repercussions unilateral actions by one of the states in the region would have, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Alexandros Papaioannou stressed the following: “Greece is firmly committed to the principles of international law and the peaceful resolution of disputes. It believes that any disputes regarding issues that concern cross-border flow of water and management of that water should be resolved based on these principles, bearing in mind the relevant international conventions. A key consideration for finding a mutually satisfactory solution is the promotion of constructive dialogue, as well as avoidance of unilateral actions regarding management of the Nile’s waters, as such actions could have negative repercussions not only for regional security and stability, but also for the prosperity of all interested states.

Interview of Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Miltiadis Varvitsiotis on SKAI TV

“Our persistent, serious, and solid arguments and our strong alliances led to the European Council’s decisions. This is the strongest framework of sanctions threatening Turkey if it does not follow the path of cooperation”, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Miltiadis Varvitsiotis underscored in an interview on SKAI TV’s ‘Kalimera’, with journalist Giorgos Aftias. “The results of the European Council meeting justified Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ strategy for making the Greek-Turkish issue an EU-Turkey issue”, Mr. Varvitsiotis added, referring to the five pillars of sanctions threatening Turkey and concerning persons and companies, limits on funding from European banking institutions, and sectoral sanctions impacting tourism, exports and energy if it continues its illegal drilling. Regarding the messages sent by the U.S. President through his participation in Thursday’s Summit Meeting and his subsequent telephone conversation with the Greek Prime Minister, the Alternate Minister noted that “it is of great importance that Mr. Biden highlighted for the first time that, during his term, U.S.-Greek relations are expected to be better than ever, inaugurating the next 200 years of friendship and cooperation between the two countries’’. He also sent a strong message to European leaders, underscoring that three countries are of concern to U.S. foreign policy: China, Russia and Turkey. “What seems to be of concern is the EU-Turkey geostrategic relationship, as Turkey constitutes a risk to stability when it opposes every EU decision and is involved in all the conflicts in the region, while democracy is also losing ground within the country”, Mr. Varvitsiotis added.
