A particular reference is made to the nomenclature with Macedonia, where, according to the former minister: 1) An attempt was made to cut Turkish influences and the growing fanaticism of Islam on the neighbor. 2) Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) have been promoted in the interest of citizens, society and the economy of both States, but also of the whole of Europe.

She complains of illegal practices

According to the same sources, it also indicates that, in parallel with the reactions of the forces of inertia, which are nevertheless authorized and constitute an element of the freedom of the Greek and Greek democracies (events, parades, speeches, announcements, independent texts,. ), Open and illicit practices have also emerged.

In this context, Mr. Kotzias said: "1) The irredentist events in Greece which have constantly undermined the country's line of negotiation as well as its international position.The curses of the priests (fortunately the few and virtually uneducated) against Mr. Kotzias personally and against the government as a whole were revealing, and even worse, the slogans heard in a series of events (without being treated by justice), such as "carrying weapons to Skopje." These are irrational slogans that They have nothing to do with the controversy surrounding the Nomenclature and constitute a flagrant violation of the Interim Agreement of 1995 and the Bucharest Treaty of 1913 with which we acquired our Macedonia. (2) Unacceptable acts, for which the Prosecutor has already intervened, accompanied by "revelations" to show that the Greek state is acting unlawfully towards third countries. "have been used according to which our country finances actions in Skopje and Tirana. The aim was, on the one hand, to prevent illegal actions by a series of actions on the part of the Greek State and, on the other hand, to undermine in neighboring countries the position of forces supporting friendship with Greece. 3) Open extortion and personal threats against Mr. Kotzias and his family. Hundreds of letters, phone messages, emails, phone messages, for himself, but also for the minister's secretary. Sending balls The threats were accompanied by blood and earth where "my family would live".

"They did not want to finish the market"

According to him, the purpose of the threats and the extortion was to force him not to carry out the negotiations with Skopje, to blackmail him so as not to implement the policy decided by the overwhelming majority from the government and the majority of the Hellenic Republic's parliament, and less, to force it to silence.

"Of course, they did not do it," he says concluding, "I am a convinced patriot and duty to the homeland precedes any other task".

"Illegal approaches continued but in different ways"

Mr Kotzias says that after the extortion, illegal practices continued, but in different ways. In particular, illegal blacksmiths, through various media likely to have access, have embarked on a foreign policy of blackmail that has followed in recent years and the defamation of his main body, namely his person.

So: 1. They spread that it took and delivered $ 50 million of Soros. Mr. Kotzias is said to have never met Soros or to have any relations with him, while pointing out that the entire Soros system had fought the Foreign Minister during the two years (2016-2017). an attempt was made to solve the Cyprus problem, insofar as it had formulated the right demand – an obligation to abolish the status of guarantees for the Great Peoples and to leave occupation troops occupied by the great man to finally make Cyprus a normal state. This is a fundamental position adopted by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and which is a maximum honor for Mr. Kotzia, as he would have written in his complaint. 2. They poured out mud saying that Mr Kotzias had stolen between 28 and 35 million euros at the secret funds of the Foreign Ministry. He claims to clarify, on the one hand, that there are no such amounts and, on the other hand, that this can not be done at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because all is controlled by a commission of three members. It proposes and distributes, by decision of the Hellenic Parliament, with the approval of which any disbursement can be carried out by the competent ministry.

Special mention is made in the case of awarding, through international competition, visa issuing services to a private company. Mr. Kotzias reportedly pointed out that "instead of sending alleged suspicions of scandal to the courts, slanderous allegations are brought against him in order to compel him to remain silent and withdraw from what he says." He feels politically but also the government as a whole, and especially the Prime Minister, as appropriate. As an example of an attempt to create a negative return, he explains that he considers a publication about to show him that he has donated 26 million euros to him. # 39; contractor. In fact, when the project is awarded, the company does not receive pennies from the Greek state but pledges to donate 10% of its net profits to the Greek state. On the other hand, the previous contractor, who had accepted the work through direct badignments, refused to give even a dime. Mr Kotzias also appears to be related to the previous company because he indicated that he would eventually cooperate with third country services.

"My ministry has revealed dozens of illegal partnerships with NGOs"

He sought and found 40 million illegally used Greek government members, of whom 14 million were already detected and returned to the Greek state. In addition, after sustained efforts, most cases of illegal issuance of visas were detected and forwarded to the Greek Justice and Disciplinary Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Greek diplomats who violated their oath were convicted. to a term of imprisonment. Finally, he states that, in his ministry and unlike in the past, no Greek media reporter has even received one cent of secret ministry funds.
