Former Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis warns that Greece faces major challenges ahead, in the escalation of Turkey’s challenge to its sovereignty.


“Past experience has shown that Greece must not be provoked by Turkey's machinations and should not allow faits accomplish against its sovereignty. We must be in a constant state of alert and readiness. Because, let's have no doubt about it, defending our sovereign rights and national interests will depend on us. We must present a unified front and ensure the deterrent power of our armed forces. "

Mr Karamanlis warns that Greece faces major challenges ahead, not only because of Turkey but also for the migration issue, Europe’s reluctance to assume a leading role, US unpredictability and what he termed as “major weaknesses” of the Prespa Agreement with North Macedonia.
