Angelos Syrigos, a member of parliament from the ruling New Democracy Party in Greece, made evaluations about the events that took place in July and November 2024 in the program he attended on ERT News. Syrigos noted that they stepped back twice after Turkish warships reached the region in 2024, in seabed research near Crete for the Greece-GCASC electrical connection project without permission from Turkey.
Syrigos, regarding Greece's reaction after Turkey sent 5 warships to the region in July 2024, and another warship at a lower density in November, said: "We took a step back in both cases. We did not continue seabed research." he said.
"WE TAKEN A STEP BACK"
The presenter asked: "Did we take a step back?" Answering the question "yes", Syrigos claimed that Athens thought at that time that the problem could be resolved within the framework of dialogue and the provisions of international law regarding the laying of submarine cables.
Syrigos stated that in the past, cable laying activities were carried out in the same large sea area without any serious problems, so it was thought that the current project could proceed in a similar way, but this time the same conditions did not occur.
Arguing that permission will not be requested from Turkey for the cable works, but this time the French research ship may inform the Turkish side, Syrigos claimed that the information to be given to Turkey will not mean a request for permission.
