[01] PASOK spokesman criticises government's policy on Mideast
Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) Spokesman Nikos
Athanassakis on Monday accused the government of "immobility, inaction
and lack of initiatives", regarding its poilicy on the Middle East
crisis.
Commenting on statements by Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis after her
meeting with Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis earlier in the day,
Athanassakis added that "all the above are not foreign policy and lead
to a retreat of Greece's positions."
He charged that the government was handling foreign policy issues in a
"publicity manner" and "thinks that everything is going well."
The PASOK spokesman also condemned the Israeli attack in Lebanon's Qana
saying that attacks against non-combatants and children "are not
justified by and cannot be included in any framework of self-defence."
"It is the responsibility of the international community and the UN
Security Council to put an end now to this war," Athanassakis
concluded.
