The importance of direct and diplomatic channels of communication between Anchor and Athens, but also Turkey’s persistence in questioning Greek sovereign rights is highlighted by its choice for the mission four frigates south of the straits Kasos – Karpathos.
According to her Dailythe frigates were sailing in the wider area due to the final phase of the exercise “Mavi Balina” of the Turkish Navy (on the MOE list) and were ordered to deploy in the area due to a rumor that the Italian ship “Ievoli Relume”, which had been at the center of a 40-hour crisis last July, was going to sail there for research.
It is surprising that the Turkish side proceeded to deploy these forces without a NAVTEX having been issued.
The concentration of the Turkish naval forces caused the reasonable question of the Greek side. The crisis was managed at a diplomatic level, with the Turkish side realizing that it was a hasty move. The units that had gathered south of the Kasos – Karpathos straits left, after the necessary consultations, in the late afternoon.
