On the occasion of the statements of the representative of the ruling AKP party Omer Celik, the Minister of Maritime Affairs & Insular Policy Ioannis Plakiotakis in a statement stresses the following:
“The representative of the Turkish ruling AKP party is well aware that the reality is exactly the opposite of what he states. Greece is saving thousands of lives in the Aegean. Lives endangered by the smuggling rings that Turkey allows to operate unhindered”.
