Ankara is trying to blur the picture and create confusion about what the de-escalation is and the conditions for a repeat Greek-Turkish dialogue, as international pressure to return to the diplomatic route intensifies.
Despite what is said about “bilingualism” on the part of Turkey, it is clear that Kalin, Tsavousoglu and Akar are on the same line, since when accepting the discussion about the dialogue that Mr. Kalin “shows”, The Turkish side will demand to enter the context that Mr. Tsavousoglou and Akar present all these days.
Turkey is obviously seeking to avoid the ugly debate in the EU. Due to sanctions, although with only the withdrawal of Oruc Reis who can return in five hours to the disputed area, he will not be able to convince of the need to postpone the debate at the Summit.
European officials sent a message yesterday that Monday’s Foreign Minister Council will normally prepare for sanctions, but this issue will be judged by the contacts Charles Michel will have with Prime Minister K. Mitsotakis and ongoing efforts to repeat of Greek-Turkish contacts.
Berlin still has its letters and is obviously waiting for the hanger to take over and receive safe messages from Ankara and Athens to dare a new attempt to repeat the contacts, in a climate of course quite heavy since there will be no more “innocence”. And the secret of the first time. And this time it will be even more difficult to form the framework for the resumption of the dialogue that will lead to the decision to repeat the exploratory contacts.
The way Turkey moves raises the question of many partners by the refusal of Greece to accept a full dialogue, since it is not always understood that Turkey wants to put on the agenda not only the delimitation of maritime zones, but also sovereignty issues from Greece.
At the European level, Athens cannot waive sanctions and is more likely to insist on a decision subject to the new decision, including at the chancellor level, for activation in case Turkey repeats challenges.
On the European table, however, are Cyprus’s proposals for sanctions against Turkey, which have been approved since June, and of course there is no decrease, as both the Barbaros investigation is conducting illegal investigations and the illegal drilling of Yavuz. in the EEZ of Cyprus.
Both will be judged by the climate that will be formed in the coming days, the international actors that have assumed a mediating role are Ankara, which in every way wants to cause confusion, and J. Kalin affirms the need not to miss the “opportunity”. which opens the return of Oruc Reis to the port of Antalya to diplomacy. At the same time, Mr. Tsavousoglou and Mr. Akar have pledged to load the agenda.
The Turkish chancellor in his interview yesterday moved in a different context since the two conditions that he established for the dialogue are the abandonment by Greece of the “maximalist positions and of the Seville Charter and that involve the Cyprus question” , adds as a condition a “mechanism that will protect the rights of Turkish Cypriots in Cyprus.”
“Παράδειγμα For example, Greece can give up its maximalist demands. It can say that the map of Seville is not valid.” The map of Seville is the reason for the tension so far … “, said Mr. Tsavousoglou referring to the map which gives full influence to the Greek islands and of course to Kastelorizo. In other words, Mr. Tsavousoglou demands as a condition for the dialogue the prior renunciation of Greece to any claim of maritime zones in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean, whereas the day before yesterday there was put a minority issue on the Thracian agenda.
Regarding the condition of Mr. Tsavousoglou for Cyprus, it is obvious that it does not concern Greece, but the Cypriot government has repeatedly proposed a mechanism to share the revenues of the gas when it begins to be exploited. Ankara rejects the proposal because it is not so interested in the “income” of the Turkish Cypriots, but in order to gain control of the island’s natural resources through the Turkish Cypriots.
The Minister of Defense, H. Akar, completed this list of conditions and issues that will enter the dialogue, speaking from Kas. The demilitarization of the islands is systematically introduced by Turkey, which considers that it has a strong legal position on this issue, despite the changing circumstances and the existence of an open and declared threat, which forces Greece to fortify the islands.
Mr. Akar also raised the issue of “gray areas” with the well-known theory that “Greece’s sovereignty over islands, islets and islets has not been based on agreements” and of course added the issue of the scope of space. Greek air.
