Androulakis demanded that the Prime Minister provide the Greek people with a clear timeline for the project's completion and cable laying.

Furthermore, Androulakis urged the government to secure a condemnation of Turkey's "Blue Homeland" maritime doctrine from the European Council, criticizing Turkey's attempt to legislate this concept in its National Assembly. He contrasted the current government's perceived focus on "communication plans" with the nation's need for leadership that "effectively serves our national interests."

As he must secure the condemnation of Turkey by the European Council for the attempt to legislate the illegal 'Blue Homeland' doctrine by the Turkish National Assembly.
