A response must also be voiced from the other side in the face of Turkish threats concerning the Cyprus-Greece electricity interconnection, Finance Minister Makis Keravnos has said, stressing that he could not intervene in Greece’s political affairs.
Speaking at the Ministry of Finance and responding to a question about the stance of Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis towards Ankara’s threats, Keravnos on 3 September said that Turkey “also issues daily threats regarding marine parks and other actions, so I think that at some point a corresponding response must also be voiced by the other side.”
Regarding the viability of the project, Keravnos referred to the joint statement issued by the Greek Prime Minister and the President of the Republic of Cyprus, according to which the study needs to be updated, as it appears that there are economic and technical aspects that need to be reassessed and clarified.
“Therefore, we are awaiting this study,” he said.
He added that the matter falls under the responsibility of the Ministry of Energy and the competent Minister, Michalis Damianos.
