[01] KKE on Erdogan's visit
Communist Party of Greece (KKE), in an announcement on Tuesday makes an
assessment of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visit to
Greece, noting that Ankara is insisting on its claims in the Aegean,
utilising joint interests with the United States.
After outlining Turkey's positions on the Aegean, as they were
presented by Erdogan at the press conference in Athens, the Political
Bureau wonders what was agreed in Athens and "whether or not the
problems regarding the violation of Greece's sea and air borders and
the questioning of Greek sovereign rights in the Aegean remain."
KKE stressed that these questions demand a responsible reply. "The
people must know the truth," it noted.
The Political Bureau further pointed out that "the Aegean, the
territorial sovereignty issues are not constructed by 'diplomats', nor
can they be solved by certain 'third parties'."
