PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis criticised the government's approach to Türkiye during his intervention in Parliament, where a bill by the Ministry of National Defence is under discussion.

"The strength of the country is not only about numbers and statistics. It lies in strengthening all aspects of our national power," Androulakis stated, highlighting the demographic challenge, the need to restore public trust in institutions, reduce social inequalities, and support remote regions such as Thrace and the islands.

He accused the government of pursuing a policy of appeasement toward Türkiye, arguing that the country has no place in the emerging European security architecture. He added that Türkiye’s defence policy cannot be strengthened in a vacuum but must be aligned with principles and values.
