PASOK-Movement for Change leader Nikos Androulakis on Tuesday strongly criticised NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for his statements about Turkey and the objections it expresses regarding the accession of Sweden and Finland to the Alliance.
"Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Mr. Stoltenberg has chosen to justify the authoritarian Erdogan regime, even Turkey's extortionate attitude towards Sweden and Finland," Androulakis said, adding: "But it should be absolutely understood by everyone that it will be the last. He can not be both Erdogan's ambassador and NATO Secretary General."
"The provocations in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, the threat of war against Greece, the questioning of our national sovereignty in the Eastern Aegean islands and the revisionist doctrine of the Turkish leadership are not just disagreements or 'accidents'," as he said in a recent interview.
The leader of PASOK pointed out that the NATO Secretary General, in fact, described Turkey, a country which functions as a destabilising factor from the Caucasus to the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean, violating human rights and the rule of law, as a "committed ally". 
"[Turkey] is the only NATO member-state which has not imposed any sanctions against Russia since the start of the war," he pointed out.
