New Democracy steers EU report condemning Turkey’s actions in the Mediterranean

Greek New Democracy (ND) members of the European Parliament, led by party coordinator Eliza Vozemberg, played a decisive role in drafting the European Parliament’s annual report on Turkey. The report, to be voted on next week in Strasbourg, condemns Turkey’s revisionist policies, asserts violations of Greek sovereignty in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, and calls for Ankara to respect international maritime law, including Greece’s right to extend its waters to 12 nautical miles.

The same political discourse highlights internal debates within ND over Greece’s foreign‑policy direction, warning that party infighting risks portraying Greece as either a reliable or an unreliable partner. Commentators stress the need for a multilateral, law‑based approach, renewed talks on Cyprus, and a balanced stance toward Turkey that defends national rights without escalating military tension.
