Bakoyannis on SKAI: Erdogan looks for a hot episode



[ad_1]

Greek-Turkish relations are in a very dangerous phase and the next quarter will be particularly critical, said ND MP Dora Bakoyannis speaking with SKAI and the TODAY program.

“It is the fourth in which Erdogan will try to impose other conditions on the game by force. “He’s looking for some kind of hot episode, which allows him to change the terms of the dialogue that has been imposed on him,” he said characteristically.

The Greek side has won, as it said, in this phase the battle of the content of the negotiations, since all, both the US and the Europeans, are talking about exploratory contacts, which will be directed to the talks on the continental shelf and the EEZ. “It is true that Erdogan’s move has put in a very difficult position all those who claimed that the Turkish president backed down and that talks could start, such as Germany,” he added.

At the same time, he pointed out that we have before us a stage of intense diplomatic activity and the messages so far are very encouraging. “I have never read such a statement from the State Department, which makes no effort to speak about the two sides, but points to Erdogan as the troublemaker.” I do not rule out the possibility of a much stronger US intervention than what we have seen. , because on the eve of the US elections, the dissolution of the southeast wing of NATO will be the icing on the cake for Trump, “Bakoyannis said.

Asked about the movements of the Greek full-back in case Oruts Reys approaches 6.5 nautical miles from Kastelorizo, she stressed that “we will do what we do in summer. In other words, we will send the same forces to the region, we will protect it and send messages of determination, and we must avoid movements that could put our country in the position of doing wrong and turn the game around. ”
