Everything is hanging by a thread! How close will the Turkish investigation get? The Navy is in battle positions, with the finger on the trigger of the Army on islands and islets, the Air Force is on standby – Athens movements and the crucial political decision.
On the razor’s edge now are the Greek-Turkish relations, with Ankara for “Pull the rope” and pressure the Armed Forces of the two countries to put their finger on the trigger.
After the new EU Summit, in which the the reluctance of our partners to impose sanctions on Turkey By aggressive tactics against Greece and Cyprus, the Erdogan regime spearheads the challenges, seeking to create achievements to the detriment of Greek sovereign rights.
In the absence of the “Berlin Protocols”, in which Athens and Ankara had agreed to restart exploratory talks with the clear and sole objective of delimitation of maritime zones, Erdogan sent it back Oruc Reis in the eastern Mediterranean, setting fire to any attempt to accommodate diplomacy. Your goal is to take the situation to the extreme even causing a “hot” episode, so that to bring our country to the negotiating table not because of the only open issue, the delimitation of maritime zones, but because of the range of open claims (demilitarization of islands, issue of the “Turkish” minority in Thrace, issues of sovereignty, search and rescue, etc., etc.).
Oruc Reis “touches” the red line
On October 20, he found the Greek Armed Forces on alert. The Turkish investigation Oruc Reis, which has been “scanning” the Greek continental shelf for a few days, will arrive on Tuesday morning (10.20), near the shores of the Megisti Complex. There it will try to turn to the southwest again, always together with the frigates and corvettes that accompany it.
See where he was on Tuesday morning:
So the question is whether at that time “Breaking” the 12 nautical miles again. Military sources point out that the Navy is not only monitoring the Oruc Reis, but also the other ships that accompany it, since the Turkish reconnaissance can go beyond 14 miles, however, the possibility exists. one of the other accompanying vessels was attempting to move between 12 and 6 nautical miles. After all, it is considered extremely possible that the Turkish leaders den approach to 6.5 nautical miles as envisaged by the illegal navtex within the Greek continental shelf, that is, within a short distance of Greek territorial waters.
So what will Athens do if the Turkish research and fleet start sailing between 6 and 12 nautical miles, in an area of possible Greek rule? What will be the reaction? Will he create a wall and collide with the Turkish ships? The truth is that the pressure on Turkish research and the Turkish fleet will increase. After all, as military sources point out, there are many ways to react and it is not just about the military coup as Greece has at least five different ways of reacting for each possible scenario.
The information indicates that Greece favors in this phase a reaction that does not involve a military attack unless the Turkish armed forces take the first step. However, we reiterate that the conflict resolution plan is ready and only the political mandate is required to implement it. We repeatedly emphasize, the Greek Armed Forces are ready, in excellent condition and in maximum operational readiness.
Turkey may be militarily powerful, but our country is capable of inflicting such a blow that it will be irreparable for it. And believe us, Erdogan knows it well! Do you want to tell me now, why then is Turkey taking the situation to the extreme? The answer is that Ankara orchestrates its movements in such a way that to lead the Armed Forces to “recklessness”.
In simple words, to break our nerves and let Greece take the first step. This is perhaps the trap Turkey wants us to fall into. An aggressive reaction could have put us in an extremely difficult position on the international stage.
Suddenly, everyone would discover that the Turkish ships moving in “international waters” and if there were dead, all the “humanists” in the world would rebel against us and present the Turks as victims of war. Greece would be forced to come to the negotiating table with Turkey as the perpetrator and then events could have been dramatic for Hellenism. The military leadership is well aware of this, with the Chief of Staff, General Konstantinos Floros, the Chief of Staff, Stylianos Petrakis, the Chief of General Staff Georgios Blioumis and the Chief of General Staff Charalambos Lalousis, assessing the situation. , reshaping plans, with the aim that our Armed Forces are always one step ahead of the Turks.
Maximum disposition and … composure!
In the surroundings of Kastelorizo there are powerful units of the Navy, ready to carry out any order of reaction, from a suffocating pressure on the Turkish fleet and the Oruc Reis, to a conflict order. The Navy’s leadership has instructed the crews of the surface units to Very careful, like, the turks can try some provocative action, with the aim of taking revenge for the blow to the Turkish flagship KEMAL REIS of the frigate LEMNOS. As for the Greek submarines, they are the Turks’ greatest fear, since they themselves know that their “invisible assassins” are in their sights at all times.
So after all they are constantly searching with CN-235 planes and CH-70 helicopters. In vain… the 214 Greek PAPANIKOLIS are literally useless! At the same time, both the archipelago of Megisti, Ro and Strongyli, as well as the surrounding islands, such as Rhodes and Kos, are “charged”, and the Army is ready to play its own role, if necessary. .
After all, all the previous time, the military leadership was busy making “lobsters” not only on the eastern Aegean islands, but also on the rocky islets – “keys”. The orders given by the head of GEETHA, General Konstantinos Floros are clear and specific to the executives of the three Branches, on how they will react if that critical moment arrives. The mechanism of the Armed Forces is prepared to implement any reaction option that is decided, while we emphasize that the military leadership constantly updates the policy on developments.
Defense Minister Mr. Nikos Panagiotopoulos has shown that he has the reflexes, the composure and the determination to react if necessary, while for all developments The Palace of Maximos and the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, are constantly informed. The objective is to coordinate the formation of critical decisions that may be necessary in the next few hours. With composure and determination we will once again give the necessary responses to the provocative Turkish regime.
