With steady steps, always faithful to international law and while upgrading the deterrent capability of the Greek Armed Forces and its international alliances, the Athens insists on following the path of international legitimacy and responsibilityas a force for security and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean at a critical time, choosing not to follow the Ankara’s aggressive frenzy.
The tone of the movements of the Greek side was given from the first moment of the manifestation of the new Turkish attacks, the Prime Ministerwhich remains in the first line internationalization of the Turkish provocationtaking advantage of every circumstance and every “international step” in order to highlight and expose the Turkish absurdity.
Despite the scene of tension that Ankara continues to set up, seeking to drag the Greek side into a bilateral – with unknown consequences – escalation, the Prime Minister and all the ministers involved with composure, plan and determination. clearly set the red lines of Athensclaiming that the national sovereignty and the sovereign rights of our country are non-negotiable and no kind of revisionism will be tolerated and left unanswered.
In this context, and as Ankara escalates its aggression against Greece, the government is coordinated in planning its next steps, continuing the update in all directionsas already started with the letter sent to the UN, completely deconstructing the Turkish “argument”, with the information of the European leaders at the Summitthe new message of the Prime Minister from the congress of the European People’s Party, the communication that continues with the other side of the Atlantic and the announcement of the issue at every opportunity of meetings or events of international scope.
The role of partners and allies
Of course, in this critical escalation, Athens it also exploits its alliances for the benefit of the country and the promotion of its positions, with the Prime Minister having already set the agenda of the next regular Summit on June 24, when Turkish delinquency will be discussed again and awaiting explicit reference to the conclusions and condemnation of the unnecessary and unnecessary Turkish provocation.
Greece has already clearly stood by Greece French President Emanuel Macron clearly condemning the Turkish provocation and calling on other European leaders to do the same, while a revised stance against Greece is expected from Germany, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis setting the stage, staying in German Chancellor Olaf Soltz that equal distance policies do not fit.
Readiness in the field as well
Along with the diplomatic marathon, Athens is ready and in the field remaining constantly vigilant and vigilant to face any challenge. Although of course, in the government camp it is estimated that Turkey will not attempt another hot summer in the field corresponding to that of the summer of 2020, but will choose to continue the tactics of aggressive rhetoric. A rhetoric that the Erdogan government considers to be “selling” inside Turkey, temporarily and superficially removing it from the huge impasses of its policy. A view, which of course is not embraced by Athens, as it is obvious that the leontarizations of the Turkish president they fail to reverse the unfavorable picture inside Turkey plagued mainly by the economic crisis and poverty, with inflation “disappearing” Turkish incomes and the Turkish pound falling even more as aggressive rhetoric escalates. A rhetoric that is deconstructed word for word, one by one from the Greek side.
Nevertheless, Athens points out that even in the case that Ankara insists on attempt to re-instrumentalize immigrationas he has been trying unsuccessfully lately, “Greece is much more prepared”, as it proved in all the last failed attempts of Ankara to put pressure on the Aegean and the Greek islands by promoting illegal immigrants in Greek territorial waters.
