Western diplomatic pressures
As reported by SKAI’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, Turkey is keeping a low tone, as many messages were sent from Berlin, during the recent trip of German Foreign Minister Analena Burbock to Ankara, Paris, Brussels and Washington, which US President Joe Biden asked Erdogan for stability in the Aegean.
In this context, the president of Turkey preferred to keep a low profile, at least until October. In fact, in the neighborhood, Erdogan’s attitude was considered to trap the country in the “Map of Seville”.
“Positive development”
Athens characterizes Ankara’s attitude as a positive development, as despite the harsh statements of Turkish officials based on the existing Navtex issued for the drilling rig, it is moving on the Turkish continental shelf and outside the Cypriot one. “It is a result of both the diplomatic pressure and the internationalization of the issue exercised by Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the government officials by quoting evidence and exposing the scope of Turkish revisionism in all international fora, to partners and allies” commented government circles. In any case, the government should not be complacent.
“I estimate that Erdogan will increase the intensity depending on the data. Foreign policy issues are important for Erdogan, yesterday he also mentioned Turkey’s operations in Syria,” the internationalist and deputy minister of education told SKAI Angel Syrigos.
