The Armed Forces in Evros are on alert and alert as the Turks have sent several warships to the Gulf of Xiros in the last hours for an exercise.
The Gulf of Turkey is located about 30 nautical miles southeast of Alexandroupolis and north of the Gallipoli peninsula.
Although Turkey exercises in the region every year, the timing of its election does not go unnoticed, as the Erdogan regime is so unpredictable that no one can rule out the possibility of the neighboring country launching a provocation in the wider region. by Evros.
It is recalled that a few days ago Turkey issued Navtex on exercises from October 19 to 20 in the Gulf of Xiros in the NE. Aegean, around 30 nm SE of Alexandroupolis.
Then the hot episode will take place in the Aegean: Erdogan is determined to everything
Erdogan’s Turkey has come to mind as “the unpredictable force”, especially after the 2016 coup. When the Sultan’s power is challenged, he is prepared to go to extremes. This is perhaps the biggest victory of the Erdogan regime. “When you consider your ‘opponent’ capable of anything, the conversation changes.”
The above is mentioned in an article by o Yavuz Baydar, editor-in-chief of the Ahval site, one of the few remaining Turkish media.
He continues: “The ‘unpredictable’ element, a key pillar of Ankara’s foreign policy, has consolidated the perception that Turkey is a destabilizing factor in the eastern Mediterranean and beyond.
«Turkey’s logic is to be where there is unrest. “Anything that undermines the status quo is good for her,” wrote Galip Dalay, a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy, in a recent analysis.
Erdogan is “dazzled” by the high levels of popularity that this strategy brings him, but also by the problems it puts under the rug and is willing to go to extremes. Since the beginning of the crisis in the Aegean and the southeastern Mediterranean, their popularity rates went up from about 48% to 52-53%. The crisis is the antidote to the “crisis”.
“In just one year, Turkey has managed to enrage its neighbors, often challenging Russia, Europe, and the United States, to launch two military operations in Syria, deploy commandos in Iraq, change the course of the war in Libya, and send ships of war for the exploration of hydrocarbons in the waters claimed by Greece and Cyprus “says Baydar.
“More recently, Armenia, with which Turkey has no diplomatic ties, has accused it of being involved in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, an enclave controlled by Armenians since the 1990s but internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. Erdogan seems determined to live and “die” with the policy he has established. With only Qatar as an ally and a single “poor Pakistan”, US President Donald Trump is the sole supporter of this effort. America’s inaction on sanctions adds extra life to “arms diplomacy.” But if you lose the election, the situation changes dramatically. Erdogan certainly knows what is coming. At the moment he is playing everything for everything. The sizzling episode is not only not ruled out, but it seems closer than ever “, concludes the columnist.
