Gerapetritis provides clarifications on the electrical cable and Greek-Turkish relations
The Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, George Gerapetritis, provided important clarifications regarding the electrical interconnection project. In his recent statements, he emphasized that the power transmission cable does not pass through areas that Turkey considers its maritime parks, clarifying that there is no reason to reroute its path.
Mr. Gerapetritis referred to the current diplomatic relations with Ankara, pointing out that the Turkish side continues to uphold its established positions. According to the minister, Turkey remains committed to theories such as the "Blue Homeland" and the existence of "gray zones" in the Aegean, issues that have long been points of friction in bilateral relations.
Despite the differing approaches, the Greek government is keeping the channel of communication open, seeking to maintain calm in the region. The minister underscored that Greece is closely monitoring developments, ensuring its sovereign rights and the smooth progress of energy projects that are critical for the country.
The situation remains under observation as the dialogue between the two countries continues at a diplomatic level. The Foreign Minister's statements aim to reassure public opinion regarding the security of infrastructure and stability in relations with the neighboring country.
