Dendias: "Greece does not need lessons from Turkey on human rights issues"
Response to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, who in the presence of his Finnish counterpart blamed Greece and the EU that they do not care about the refugees, gave from Rome Nikos Dendias.
As the Foreign Minister noted, Turkey "has no right to speak" when it has used the refugee tool. Answering a relevant question from the APE-MPE, Nikos Dendias underlined: to tell me what the Turkish minister told him ".
He added: "But I want to be clear: the last thing Greece needs is lessons and teachings from Turkey on human rights issues and immigration management.
Turkey - I repeat Turkey - is the one that used the tool of immigration and used the immigrants as a weapon of blackmail of the European Union and Greece. "He is not entitled, therefore, to speak," to recall an old phrase. "
It should be recalled that during his meeting with the Finnish Foreign Minister, Peeka Havisto, Mevlut Tsavousoglou launched an attack against Greece, saying the following:
"Greece continues its policy of deportations, violating human rights and international law. "Many immigrants have lost their lives because of this tactic, because Greece is sinking their boats." And he added about the EU. “EU was as guilty as Greece because the EU ignores immigrants. Who will stop this? Where are the human rights defenders?" he wondered.
