“The government’s decision to build a 140 km fence on Evros is final,” Civil Protection Minister Takis Theodorikakos told SKAI.

In particular, Mr. Theodorikakos noted that “in Evros, the Greek police, by their presence, prevented the illegal entry of 256,000 illegal immigrants into the country. KYSEA has made a decision, and the Ministry of Civil Protection is responsible for its implementation, to build a fence along the entire length of the Evros River, that is, on the borders of Greece and Europe with Turkey. Its total length is 140 kilometers. The existing immediate solution is the construction of the first 35 kilometers at a central point with a budget of 100 million euros, for which the Ministry of Civil Protection, in cooperation with the Ministry of National Defense, has completed a study, and we are waiting for the official approval of Ming. Finance to make quick and direct competition.”

Speaking about the ongoing Turkish provocations, Mr. Theodorikakos stressed: “Obviously, Erdogan’s difficulties are determined by his political movements and the constant provocative words that they think they can affect our relations. Nobody can threaten Greece. He rejects challenges with composure and absolute determination. The Turkish leadership knows that over the past 3.5 years, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister, our homeland has strengthened strategically, militarily, it is respectable and no one, no one can threaten even a millimeter of Greek land, air or sea.

Therefore, wherever they take their challenges, they must know that there is absolutely no place for them to do even the slightest thing. Yesterday I believe it was a day of great symbolism, the prime minister in Gavdos, who showed the calm and determination of the Greek government, he showed a strong message of Greek unity, which I believe the Turks took, they were worried, and therefore they say this nonsense “.
