Turkey

Turkey is continually opening new military fronts and in so doing it is acting in a destabilising manner and is displaying a glaring indifference to the fact that it has lost all of its traditional allies.

Even the most incredulous person realises the words of the Turkish president are hollow as he takes care to demonstrate every day that he is an untrustworthy interlocutor.

'I also call on Turkish President Erdogan to reverse his recent decision to convert the Hagia Sophia to a mosque and to return this treasure to its former status as a museum,' said Biden.

'It is up to Turkey to close the path of crisis and open a path of resolution. We are willing to meet it on that second path and I’m optimistic that is the route we will take, to the benefit of our two peoples,” Mitsotakis said.

NATO announced on 1 October that Greece and Turkey, both alliance members, had set up a “military de-confliction mechanism” to avoid accidental clashes at sea.

'The summit "is a significant meeting for Greek-Turkish relations and beyond, for all foreign relations the EU has,' said Greek government spokesman Stelios Petsas.

The Eastern Mediterranean was high on the agenda of Pompeo’s talks as Greece, the US, France and other nations have slammed Ankara’s military moves in the region, as were Turkish Aegean provocations.

It is the duty of the Greek state to reveal his schemes and role and to communicate to the international community the threat that Turkey poses to regional security and peace.

'We hope they’ll be real conversations [between Turkey and Greece] and we hope the military assets that are there will be withdrawn so these conversations can take place,' said the US Secretary of State.

The leaders said they welcome the mediation effort of EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell and Germany to achieve a resumption of the dialogue between Greece and Turkey on the maritime zones issue. 

It is no coincidence that in the last month pundits on Turkish television have been analysing the capabilities of the Hellenic Air Force that would allow it to strike targets deeper into the country.

Indisputably the worsening pandemic will aggravate public health and recessionary conditions and the endurance of everyone will be challenged.

'What I think is important now is to support the German efforts to try to establish a platform for dialogue, for talks between two NATO allies, Turkey and Greece,' Nato chief Stoltenberg said.

Turkey occupied part of Syria thanks to an agreement with the US and Russia and it signed an illegal agreement supposedly delimiting the two countries’ EEZ’s, even though they are not contiguous.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan as the self-styled father of post-modern Turkey will proudly oversee an event that he views as world-historical.

Bloomberg saw room for Ankara to extend its influence in Libya and described Erdogan’s ambitions as follows: 'A national construct abroad seems better than domestic crisis management.'

Borrell, who visited the Kastanies Greek-Turkish border crossing station at Evros earlier on Wednesday with Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias, reaffirmed that the EU is committed to the protection of Greece's sovereignty.

The Greek government is scurrying to close an EEZ delimitation deals with Egypt and Albania after having cut a deal with Italy, thus resolving a deadlock of over four decades. Though there were compromises on the part of both sides, politicians and analysts in Athens’ view the deal with Italy as crucial because it recognises […]

All of his actions regarding the pandemic highlighted Erdogan’s weaknesses. At first he refused to take protective measures against the epidemic. He ignored the warnings of scientists.
