Clear message<\/b> to Turkey <\/b>in view of the annual report<\/b> of the European Parliament<\/b> in Strasbourg.<\/p>\n
On the occasion of the vote on the text of the European Parliament\u2019s annual report on Turkey, which is scheduled to take place next week during the European Parliament\u2019s plenary session in Strasbourg, the head of the New Democracy Eurogroup, Eliza Vozemberg, <\/b>issued the following statement<\/b>:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Greek MEPs of New Democracy have once again confirmed their leading role in defending national interests<\/b> and in highlighting the challenges that Turkey continues to pose to Greece and Cyprus.<\/p>\n
Through coordinated interventions, the New Democracy Eurogroup played a decisive role in drafting a strong text<\/b> on Turkey, which clearly reflects European concerns regarding Ankara\u2019s revisionist policy, the deterioration of the human rights situation, and the systematic violations of international law.<\/p>\n
The report unequivocally condemns the ongoing violations of Greek sovereignty and our country\u2019s sovereign rights, as well as the illegal activities within the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone. At the same time, it rejects the revisionist doctrine of the \u201cBlue Homeland\u201d<\/b>, calls on Turkey to fully respect the International Law of the Sea, and emphasizes that Turkey\u2019s aggressive stance is a destabilizing factor in the region.<\/p>\n
Another significant success for the New Democracy delegation is the inclusion of amendments that explicitly enshrine Greece\u2019s legal right<\/b> to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, in accordance with international law. Furthermore, Turkey\u2019s recent attempt to institutionalize its illegal claims in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean through special legislation was highlighted, attempting to lend legitimacy to the \u201cBlue Homeland\u201d doctrine.<\/p>\n
The New Democracy Eurogroup remains steadfastly committed to defending national interests, utilizing every institutional and political means at the European level<\/b>, so that Greece\u2019s voice is strong, credible, and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
