Opposition party SYRIZA has issued a statement to distance itself from party member Nasos Theodoridis. Mr. Theodoridis referred to Imia islets by their Turkish name “Kardak” and suggested that Greece orchestrated the 1996 crisis.
Sources from the SYRIZA’s parliamentary group and press office suggested that “the repeated publicly-expressed opinions of Mr. Nasos Theodoridis do not reflect the collective positions of SYRIZA regarding foreign affairs”. The same sources indicated that he does not represent the party in an official capacity.
