All this, of course, in view of the crucial Summit, during which it seems “They are cooked»Sanctions against Ankara.
There will be a difficult diplomatic bra-de-fer on the issue of sanctions.
In the current situation there are two clear facts.
The first element is that the situation in Euro-Turkish relations it has not improved at all compared to the last time the “27” addressed the issue at the European Council in the first two days of October.
The second element is that immediate imposition of restrictive measures / sanctions against Ankara is not currently on the table.
What is being considered, and the scenario in which Athens is working, is the specific registration of those areas in which sanctions can be applied assigned to Josep Borrell, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, requesting a written record of the corresponding sanctions list.
There have been many in the last days public but also backstage contacts which will obviously peak as the Summit approaches.
