Adonis Georgiadis Hails Mitsotakis: “Even Turks Admit Greece Is Governed Right”

In a politically charged intervention, Adonis Georgiadis threw his full weight behind Kyriakos Mitsotakis, arguing that Greece’s greatest governmental success over the past seven years has been its foreign policy.

The trigger? A televised statement on a major Turkish TV network, where a well-known — and traditionally anti-Greek — Turkish analyst reportedly stated:

“Greece has been governed correctly for the past seven years, while Turkey has been governed wrongly.”

For Georgiadis, this was not merely a media anecdote. It was, as he framed it, a geopolitical validation from the other side of the Aegean.

From Crisis State to Strategic Hub

According to Georgiadis, Greece has never been more geopolitically upgraded. The government’s strategic doctrine under Mitsotakis has repositioned the country as:

• A pillar of stability in the Eastern Mediterranean
• A critical NATO logistics hub (notably through Souda Bay and Alexandroupoli)
• A trusted partner of the United States and the European Union
• An active diplomatic player in energy corridors and regional alliances

Meanwhile, Turkey’s foreign policy — marked by friction with Western allies, tensions over defense procurements, and complex regional maneuvering — has faced criticism even within its own analytical circles.

The symbolism, politically speaking, is powerful: when critics across the border acknowledge Greek strategic coherence, it reshapes domestic narratives.

The Mitsotakis “Personal Stamp” on Foreign Policy

Georgiadis emphasized that foreign policy carries the personal signature of Mitsotakis. Unlike domestic policy areas that often generate partisan friction, external strategy has become a unifying success story for the government.

Under Mitsotakis:

• Greece expanded defense agreements with France and the U.S.
• It strengthened trilateral partnerships in the Eastern Mediterranean
• It pursued calibrated de-escalation channels with Ankara while maintaining deterrence

The message from Georgiadis is clear and politically sharpened:

If even Turkish analysts admit Greece is being governed correctly, what stronger proof of strategic success is needed?

Beyond Diplomacy: A Pre-Election Narrative

This intervention is not accidental timing. As political positioning intensifies, Georgiadis is framing foreign policy as the government’s most defensible and internationally validated achievement.

By amplifying commentary from Turkish media, he is crafting a broader narrative: Greece is no longer reacting — it is shaping events.

In that framing, Mitsotakis is not merely managing crises but actively upgrading Greece’s geopolitical weight.

The Broader Geopolitical Signal

The Eastern Mediterranean remains fluid: energy routes, NATO’s southeastern flank, EU–Turkey relations, and regional security architecture are all in play. In this context, perceived credibility matters.

Georgiadis’ argument boils down to one core political thesis:

Foreign policy success equals national elevation — and national elevation justifies political continuity.

Whether voters will fully embrace that equation remains to be seen. But strategically, the government is betting that international recognition — even reluctant recognition from Turkey — carries domestic weight.

Με έχετε ακούσει πολλές φορές να λέω στις διάφορες συνεντεύξεις μου, ότι το πεδίο στο οποίο η Κυβερνητική πολιτική έχει την μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία είναι η Εξωτερική Πολιτική. Αυτό το λέω διότι είναι ένας τομέας που με ενδιαφέρει και τον παρακολουθώ πάντα . Ποτέ η Ελλάδα δεν ήταν… pic.twitter.com/QPMJYm1DHA
