26506 - The European triangle

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Thrace constitutes the European triangle, and more specifically the entire Thrace, ie the Large occupied territories inclusive.
If consequently this factor is used by Turkey, for those who are unaware of how she obtained it, as a plot to enhance its accession course to the European Union, it’s in actual fact easy for it to become a stratagem on our behalf, as this integration is relevant enough, and makes sense as a European element.
In other words if we, as European Union, were to accept the illogical approach of Turkey, then that would only be the case through ignorance, and or servility.
Because we are all aware that Thrace is intertemporally Greek, and it couldn’t be interpreted otherwise, even if a part of it is occupied.
It’s a must however for our people who derive from these regions, to express themselves most clearly about the matter.
To be aware of where their families are coming from, and not to reach the point of just going there for shopping due to turist guides, or nostalgically hanging around a coffee shop.
We are responsible as well for the messages we put across.
Whereas Kolokotronis was crystal clear re: the issue, and made reference only to Constantinople.
