The “lullaby” in Greek -Turkish does not mean that there is not much mobility. The fields with the neighbors that are open are many. First and more interesting, at a communication level, the Appointment Mitsotakis – Erdogan in Ankara for the conduct of the Supreme Cooperation Council. July is the month that will take place except for the unexpected.

The agenda rich with the big issues of the settlement of the maritime zones are not touched. Is not excluded, after all Tayyip Erdogan To go through a period when Greece is not its priority in the geopolitical “chessboard”.

Does not hide that he wants to be the Absolute Ombudsman in Ukrainian hurrying to host conversations in the Middle East developments self -resolution of PKK and peace with the Kurdsas well as in Syria. Possibly in these shifts there is a need for Europe to respond to a new security strategy. And at this point, however, Turkey is present.

In yesterday’s decision by the General Affairs Council in Brussels for the “Safe” program, which opens the door of third countries to the equipment, as was normal in Ankara. “Wide smiles”. Both the Greek side and the Cypriot had expressed their objections from the first moment. THE Thomas Renée – EU spokesman said that “Article 16 is clear. The participation of a third country may be ruled out if this third country poses an immediate threat to the defense or security of an EU Member State or throughout the EU. “

The diplomatic battle that will be fought from now on will be harsh, as the conclusion of bilateral or multilateral agreements with third countries, such as Turkey, requires unanimity. Removal of Casus Belli from the table It was the answer of Athens. It is the permanent obstacle to any attempt to restart sincere dialogue.

Although Erdogan has turned his gaze In other ‘seas’ The cable of the electric interconnection cable with Cyprus and then with Israel is the other major issue that raises the “thermometer” in Constantinople. Only the thought of completing this project annoys the anchor. For the return to underwater investigations, there will be an attempt to investigate the intentions, with the Greek government clarifying that the project will be carried out.

In the “equation” there are the F-35s, which the Turks hope that they will eventually get them for days of Trump. It is recalled that Tayyip Erdogan recently said that soon the US equipment to Turkey would be lifted. Is the “formula” sought through which will overcome the Caatsa sanctions? The reactions of Greece and Israel still exist on the table, the other thorn to Ankara, compared to Washington, is the F-16 program that did not run because Turkey turned its eye to the Eurofighter.

All this mobility of neighbors have set alert Athens and Nicosia. An immediate answer is the revival of cooperation 3+1 Greece, Cyprus, Israel with the participation of USA. The letter to the Mark Rubio It was the beginning. The figure was established in 2019 in Israel. It is a strategic move that highlights the role of Greece as a pillar of stability in the area.
