Gerapetritis: Nobody will enter our territorial waters

Nobody will enter Greece's territorial waters. The Greek Armed Forces are on full alert and ready to deal with any such crisis and Greece's political leadership will make no concessions regarding its sovereignty," State Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis said on Friday in an interview with Parapolitika radio.

He clarified that there has never been a mutual agreement signed by those authorised to sign but there was a written understanding that had to do with the fact that "we are obviously going to discussions with the de-escalation of the tension in the area".

On the outcome fo the MED7 meeting on Thursday in Corsica, Gerapetritis said that "the message, which French President Emmanuel Macron summarised very well, is that we want the Mediterranean to be a sea of peace (Pax Mediterranea) but, unfortunately, the reality shows that the only one not wanting this peaceful co-existence of the peoples is Turkey".

On the other major issue of the day, the situation that has arisen in Moria, he said that a very serious effort is underway in the field of health and to provide shelter and food for the migrants and refugees, announcing that a shipment with 200,000 rapid Covid-19 tests arrived at the airport of Mytilene and that a large number of sample test will be carried out among the locals and the migrants and refugees, seeking to track and isolate any coronavirus incident.
