Developments in the Aegean are rapid, as according to the most recent information, part of the Turkish fleet is returning to the Bosphorus.
As the position of “Oruc Reis” appears in the Maritime Traffic system, the ship appears to be in the port of Antalya, since yesterday Saturday the Turkish Navtex was not renewed, which was issued on August 31 and was for the period of September 2-12.
Turkey’s move to remove Oruc Reis from the eastern Mediterranean Kyriakos Mitsotakis was invited to comment at the press conference at the Helexpo Forum in Thessaloniki.
Mr. Mitsotakis spoke of a positive step and, as he stressed, “we hope it will continue and be the first step in the right direction.” “Once we see handwriting samples, we are ready for direct exploratory contacts with Turkey for the only important difference which is the delimitation of maritime zones in the Eastern Mediterranean, where unilateral actions are prohibited.”
Based on the data so far, it seems that for the first time in a month and a half this game of domination has started in the Aegean, the only culprit being the Turkish president who, either with incendiary statements or illegal naphtex, is careful not to give any substantial agreement with the Greek Government for dialogue, you can see some signs of gradual de-escalation.
Almost daily, Erdogan’s ministers Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu and Hulusi Akar made similar offensive statements against Greece, while in the last ten days Turkey’s Energy Minister Donmez also entered the dance, all of them with a specific repertoire. of statements that warn of danger.
But for the moment we are writing these words and although not all the ships accompanying the Turkish research vessel have returned, the large number that have taken the way back to the Bosphorus shows something.
Of course, you can never be sure of a neighboring country that has a rich history of extraterrestrial behavior, but this fact combined with Today’s statements by Hulusi Akar and Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu, who spoke of a meaningful dialogue with Greece and the non-reactivation of Naftex that would once again create moments of tension in the Aegean, we could say that something substantial can be done between the two countries.
Let’s not forget that Turkey now has another front to close after yesterday’s visit by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Cyprus and the his statements on Ankara’s illegal actions in the Cyprus EEZand American magazine article that Americans are considering moving their base from Incirlik to Souda.
But even if all Turkish warships show a picture of a return to their naval bases, the data as it builds up with tensions in the southeast Aegean has prompted Armed Forces leaders to revise the views. of warships and be located. in advanced positions so that the answer is always in the genesis of any scenario.
Consequently, even if the Greek fleet is ordered to withdraw after a month and a half of constant tension, some will remain in the eastern Aegean and are not the only crews on the surveillance ships.
