[01] FM Kotzias stresses importance of EU returning to its founding values
"The Greek foreign policy in times of crisis is an active, responsible
policy implemented through initiatives. It is a policy that does
not want to divide, but to unite. A policy that does not want to be
subordinated to the past, but to make good use of it for the future,"
Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias said during his speech at the Centre
for European Studies and Humanities St.Antony's College in Oxford.
Kotzias referred to the role that Greece wants to play as a catalytic
force to solve problems in a transitional era where geopolitics
surpasses ideology. The Foreign Minister stressed the importance of the
interconnection of foreign policy with the other fields of international
negotiations, such as the one carried out for the Greek debt as a means
to ensure new opportunities for economic and social policy of the country.
Referring to European Union, Kotzias said that "from a rule of law tends
to evolve into a new kind of empire, in which the Brussels' bureaucracy,
the financial markets and Berlin (the so-called New Rome) play a special
role and have specific rights" and stressed the importance of returning
to its founding values.
