With the “fire” it seems that Turkey is beginning to play little by little, since with its uncompromising attitude it enrages the strong EU forces.
The summit sent a clear message to Ankara, which, however, does not appear to have been received. Turkey’s reaction was to issue a statement in which it spoke of the prejudices of the EU, which it called, in the familiar tone, “to stop surrendering to the irrational and ill-conceived claims of Greece and the Greek Cypriot sector.” The Greek chancellor spoke of “spasmodic reactions” and “scandalous accusations”.
Turkey did not appear to “listen” to Merkel’s remarks, which she described as Ankara’s provocations as sad and unnecessary, nor to Macron’s new warning, which acknowledged that “after the October 2 decisions, Turkey continues the same methods.”
The circle tightens for Turkey
According to information provided by SKAI, the new conditions that are forming are not at all favorable for Ankara. A source with knowledge of the talks that took place in Brussels during the Summit described to SKAI an oppressive climate for Turkey and intense discontent even for the “big players” in Europe.
According to the same source, in terms of sanctions, there are embankments in southern countries that have interests and strategic relations with Turkey. However, added the same source, large ships can take time to turn, but we are in this phase of turning.
According to the information presented by the station, there is a psychological limit December. All the big players have set that Summit on December 10-11 as the ceiling for Turkey to show signs of goodwill. If not all the options and of course the sanctions are on the table. It remains to be seen what they will be, but as the same source stated, Greece will insist on the question raised by Mr Mitsotakis at the Summit table and in his statements yesterday, that is, this peculiar European arms embargo.

The new attack of the Turkish chancellor on Nikos Dendias
This measure is considered selective as it may get to the point where Turkey “hurts”. A typical example, according to SKAI, can be the German type 214 submarines. As this source pointed out, the Greek government will continue to raise the issue of the arms embargo at all levels, from the level of leaders to the council of foreign ministers. which can also process sanctions in early November at all levels to cultivate the weather.
Early on Sunday morning, the Cypriot news agency broadcast Turkey’s Foreign Minister’s new attack on Nikos Dendias, who, earlier, had pointed out that Turkey should be judged on the basis of its actions and not on the basis of what it states.
“Greece is the one that causes the problems or supports those who cause them,” said the Turkish Foreign Minister, focusing on the statements of Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias in Armenia.
Specifically, the representative of the Turkish Foreign Minister Hami Aksoy stressed that “the expressions and complaints made by the Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias to our country during his visit to Armenia are proof that Greece prefers the policy of tension and escalation of good neighborliness with Turkey, dialogue and cooperation “.
Erdogan’s new show
Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has organized a new “show” to announce the discovery of new gas fields in Ankara. Erdogan, who inspected Fatih’s platform, launched a new offensive against the European Union, even going so far as to say that if the EU does not behave fairly, it will lead to the “end of the bloc.”
From the deck of Fatih, Erdogan reiterated Ankara’s willingness to continue exploring for hydrocarbons in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It is recalled that last August Erdogan announced that a gas field had been discovered in the Black Sea, specifically 320,000 million cubic meters in the Dunai 1 well.
It is recalled that beyond the EU, Turkey – due to the S-400 – has opened a “front” with Washington. The State Department was clear: if Turkey launches the S-400 it will have consequences. However, Ankara ignored this warning and made a test shot.
