希腊前总理卡拉曼利斯雅典讲话:同盟不是单行道,希腊不向土耳其让渡主权

10月25日,希腊前总理科斯塔斯·卡拉曼利斯在雅典战争博物馆发表讲话,向西方盟友表示:同盟意味着责任,团结不能是单行道,希腊必须留在同盟之内,但不会以牺牲主权与国家利益换取团结。讲话场合是退役军官协会为纪念1940年10月28日希腊拒绝意大利最后通牒而举办的活动。
讲话的核心指向土耳其在爱琴海与东地中海的动向、土耳其与利比亚的海上协议,以及希腊与塞浦路斯电力互联项目。卡拉曼利斯警告,希腊必须拒绝土耳其方面就互联项目提出的许可或通报要求,认为任何此类让步都可能损害希腊的主权权利。
他同时质疑,西方伙伴在加强自身与土耳其防务联系的同时,是否愿意同样坚定地捍卫希腊与塞浦路斯的利益。卡拉曼利斯2004年至2009年担任希腊总理。
Karamanlis in Athens: Alliances Are Not a One-Way Street
Former Greek prime minister Costas Karamanlis told Western allies on October 25 that alliances carry responsibilities and solidarity cannot be a one-way street, saying Greece must remain committed to its alliances but never compromise its sovereignty or national interests. He spoke at the War Museum in Athens at an event organised by the Association of Retired Army Officers to commemorate Greece's rejection of Italy's ultimatum on October 28, 1940.
The speech focused on Turkey's ambitions in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, the Turkey-Libya maritime agreement, and the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnection. Karamanlis warned Greece must refuse Turkish demands for permits or notification over the interconnection project, saying any such concession could damage Greek sovereign rights.
He also questioned whether Western partners were willing to defend Greek and Cypriot interests while strengthening their own strategic and defence ties with Turkey. Karamanlis served as prime minister from 2004 to 2009.
