Defence Minister Panos Kammenos’ reply to the Coordinator responsible for Foreign and Defence Affairs of the New Democracy party Dora Bakoyannis

March 8, 2016

“I showed understanding and I did not comment the fact that the coordinator for National Defence Affairs of the New Democracy Party, Mr. Davakis, adopted a Turkish document in NATO, to which the military commander of SHAPE did not make any reference.

However, I would never expect that Mrs. Bakoyannis who has thorough knowledge of NATO issues, would be misinformed and would doubt on the explicit decision of NATO political and military authorities, which clarifies that SNMG2 activity areas are all the areas of refugees and migrants’ flow, including, of course, Kastellorizo island.

We are available to every party of the Parliament to provide constant and reliable information which is preferable to unofficial documents of dubious origin which are not adopted by the Alliance and are leaked by non friendly sources”.
