Summarized on Friday by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. According to the SKAI correspondent, Giannis Paleologos, the head of the Alliance stated that “it is more about technical discussions than negotiations” and clarified that they do not replace Germany’s efforts for political negotiation.
The Secretary General NATO has clarified that there is no agreement on the form of the conflict prevention mechanism. “There is no agreement yet, but discussions have started,” he said.
“After my talks with the Greek and Turkish leaders, the two allies have already met for technical talks here at NATO. The aim is to establish a conflict prevention mechanism to reduce the risk of accidents and accidents in the Eastern Mediterranean. Agreement on the mechanism has yet to be reached. “These are technical discussions, not negotiations on the underlying differences between Greece and Turkey, and are intended to complement, rather than replace, Germany’s efforts at political mediation aimed at reduce escalation, “he said.
As he noted, both countries are notable members of the alliance. These are technical discussions on how to try to create conflict prevention mechanisms.
“These talks have already started, they have already met (the representatives of the two countries), they are meeting at the military level.” It is important to separate these military-technical talks from the negotiations for which Germany is trying to initiate and create a framework, which is intended for de-escalation and covers disputes such as demarcation and the EEZ, “Stoltenberg said.
“What I am trying to do is avoid conflicts and develop a conflict prevention mechanism, since we have many ships in the Mediterranean, we need to have technical discussions to avoid conflicts,” he said.
