TURKEY ESCALATES TENSIONS WITH GREECE

 


Turkey has recently raised the ante of provocations against Greece raising tension in the Eastern Mediterranean at a period when the two NATO supposed allies are expected to show unity in the face of the Russian threat to Ukraine.

Greece issued a diplomatic protest or demarche to Turkey over the continuous provocations of Turkish officials including President Erdogan who has been questioning the sovereignty of the Aegean islands. 

Dr. Athanasios Drougos told the Greek Press that he expects Turkey to intensify its rhetoric against Greece in the coming weeks and months. 

Turkey wants to broaden the agenda of its demands against Greece. It aims to include the Exclusive Economic Zone, the status of the islands, such as Kastelloriso, and the Greek right to extend territorial waters in the Aegean.  

We Greeks are very unfortunate ro have such aggressive and violent neighbors.
