Strategic friendship with Erdogan and who does he choose between Turkey and
Rama with Erdogan and Mitsotakis

During the conversation with "Kathimerini" about the joint agreement between Albania and Greece on maritime areas, the Greek journalist asked Prime Minister Edi Rama about the rumors circulating about a strategic friendship with the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Rama responded by saying that there are no preferences between Greece and Turkey, unlike these two countries that do not like each other. The prime minister rejected the conspiracy theories and stated that Erdogan has never asked him about the issue of maritime zones and that he can develop his battles without Albania.

Bringing attention to the fact that Turkey wants to go to the International Court for the maritime areas in the Aegean with Greece, Rama said that he hopes that the issue will be resolved and the parties will agree.

Journalist: There are suspicious voices. You know those suspicious voices that say that Edi Rama prefers the strategic friendship of President Erdogan and President Erdogan does not want an agreement between Greece and Albania, because such an agreement can be used as a model for a future agreement in the Aegean between Greece and Turkey. Is this another conspiracy story?

Prime Minister Edi Rama: That's quite a conspiracy theory. First, because when I challenged the agreement in court, I had never met President Erdogan and I had no connection with anyone in Turkey, because we were in opposition. Second, yes, we have a strategic partnership agreement with President Erdogan, but I don't think we should choose between President Erdogan or Kyriakos Mitsotakis, between Greece and Turkey. We love both. The fact that you don't like each other too much shouldn't be a problem for us to like you both, I think. President Erdoğan has never, never - I'm telling you this and it's my word against conspiracy theories - has never asked me, or even asked me, what's going on with this. Never! Never! He does not need Albania to fight his battles. Since we are talking about President Erdogan, I tell you, my feeling is that President Erdogan is not anti-Greek. President Erdogan is the one, that you know very well, I believe, he had the courage when he was not yet who he is today, but he was only the prime minister, to put an agreement on Cyprus on the table, you remember, which was something quite dangerous for his career him in Ankara and did it. Then he was - I won't use that strong word, but something similar, you can find in Greek a softer word - from the European Union! Then during the severe crisis that Greece went through, I didn't see him taking the opportunity to make it worse, because if he wanted to destroy Greece or if he intends to destroy Greece, he would have used that moment to do it (the crisis ) more painful, using refugees and so on. He didn't. really, I have never seen in him a man who harbors bad feelings towards Greece and the Greek people. Of course, he has his opinion regarding the situation between you, the issue of the sea, but I won't get into that, because it's not up to me, but, as far as I know, the Turkish side has been asking to go to the International Court for a long time, right? That's it! We are pleased that the Greek side agreed to go to the International Court with us and I hope to go to the International Court with Turkey as well and the issue will be resolved by a third party, with which both sides agree. Otherwise, we will continue to be traitors among traitors, and this is not a good idea. The Turkish side has been wanting to go to the International Court for a long time, right? That's it!
