Everything shows that the situation in Eastern mediterranean enters a critical 15 days. Ankara seems determined to continue on the path of achievement. According to the Yeni Safak newspaper, he Oruc Reis will get even closer to Kastellorizo and Rhodes with the new navtex issued by Turkey until September 25.
The last one, which ends on September 12, reaches 30 miles from Kastelorizo. Only yesterday, Monday, there were six violations of the national airspace by Turkish aircraft, while there were four virtual air battles between Greek and Turkish fighters. HE Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his statements after the long meeting of the Council of Ministers, referred to Kastellorizo.
“In the Eastern Mediterranean, they want to trap us off our shores with an island of 10 square kilometers. That can’t happen. “But it didn’t stop there.” Those who try to create fabricated events, violating Turkey’s legal rights in the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean, must accept the facts. “Every political, diplomatic, military error or disrespectful act against our country, instead of deviating from our path, strengthens our resolve.”
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi akar, during his meeting with the president of his military committee NATO Stuart Pits welcomed the Greek-Turkish dialogue, while also addressing the “Blue homelanda. “” Turkey is in favor of the position that all Eastern Mediterranean countries should take into account the rights of others and international law, “he said, adding:” Turkey’s ability to protect rights, such as always has, it should be noted. interests and interests in the “Blue Homeland”, including From cyprus».
Advisor to the Turkish president on foreign policy issues Mesut Haki Kassin once again turned against her Greece and her France. “Greece has not found natural gas and, although it does not have an aircraft carrier, it is sending the French aircraft carrier here against Turkey. It attacks us with someone else’s horse. This horse will be shot dead. This is the first…” He went on to say that he would sink “Charles de Gaulle” if the ship reaches the area. According to information, the president Macron He had a phone conversation with President Trump, asking him to “stop Erdogan.”
Meanwhile, the crisis is turning into a diplomatic tug of war, the first problem being the imposition of sanctions by European Union in the imminent Summit. The time for de-escalation is shrinking with the days, but mainly Ankara shows no intention of withdrawing Oruc Reis, to pave the way for dialogue.
However, the closer we get to the Summit, the more diplomatic mobility intensifies. The highlight is the multilateral conference, proposed by the President of the European Council Charles Michel. Athens maintains an attitude of waiting, as this initiative does not seem to be lucky.
Turkey does not recognize the Republic of Cyprus and is therefore expected to refuse to come to the table with her. Most likely, it will establish as a condition for accepting the participation of the Republic of Cyprus to participate in the conference and the Turkish Cypriot pseudo-state. However, it is obvious that the European Union cannot exclude one of its member states, the Republic of Cyprus, nor accept a state formation that the international community considers illegal and does not recognize.
However, it is possible that Berlin and the Michel-Borrell duo will try to include the pseudo-state in the conference as an observer. It is clear that in this case there will be a refusal from Nicosia and Athens, which will lead to the collapse of Michel’s initiative, but the Greek refusal will probably be used as an argument to avoid sanctions on Turkey or to impose painless sanctions. Michelle, however, visits Athens on September 15. and immediately afterwards he goes to Ankara, although he may also be in Nicosia.
However, the European Union remains divided on the issue of sanctions and this is expected to be recorded at the Summit on 24-25 September. Diplomatic sources claim that Ankara’s intentions will have been seen earlier, on September 12, when the illegal Turkish NAVTEX for Oruc Reis expires. If it spreads, it becomes clear that the Turkish president has crossed the Rubicon and no Berliner can stop him.
At present, however, all eyes are on the summit of the European Mediterranean countries in Corsica and at the Kyriakos Mitsotakis meeting with Emmanuel Macron the day before the start of work. The agreement for the acquisition by Greece of the fourth generation Rafale fighters is, according to the information, very close. The weather seems to have gained a lot of density until the Summit, with one event after another and in the Eastern Mediterranean the temperature rises dangerously.
