Of Dimitris Gatsiou

Opposing Turkey’s choice to maintain tensions in the region is Athens, which insists, in all tones, that it will not follow its neighbor’s leadership in the game of polarization, facing the challenges with “composure and determination”.

With the government proposing international law, strengthening its alliances, but also upgrading the country’s geopolitical and energy role, the prime minister once again seized the opportunity to send signals about the war in Ukraine, which, however, they are also directly reflected in the revision of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“This war must end. And with it, we must prevent the model, this destructive model, of authoritarian leaders who, at any cost and under any pretext, will trespass on the borders of their neighbors.”

This is a duty of the international community and of the entire civilized world. At a temporary cost, today, but with a big profit tomorrow “, was the characteristic disgust of Mr. Mitsotakis.

Athens, with the paper of the force of stability and security in the Eastern Mediterranean still at the forefront of its agenda, is preparing for the reception of the German Foreign Minister, next Thursday.

Ms. Berbok will meet with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the aftermath of the Mitsotakis-Solz summit in Brussels, the continuation of which brought the… six months of Berlin to the logic of equal distances from Greece and Turkey.

“Greece plays an important role in security in the Mediterranean. At a time when the security order in Europe is fundamentally challenged by President Putin, we, as NATO allies and European partners, must be united. It is important to “We are solving the problems through talks and not by escalating the tension,” said the German Foreign Minister, just twenty-four hours before her arrival in the Greek capital.

In fact, twenty-four hours after Mrs. Berbok’s presence in Athens, the Prime Minister will have another important meeting with the German Chancellor, in Thessaloniki and in the framework of the Summit for Cooperation in Southeast Europe.

A meeting that is an opportunity to send new loud messages against the Turkish demilitarization, which not only disturbs the waters of the Aegean, but causes a rift in the unity of the Alliance, in a period of geopolitical turmoil and change of balance, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine .

“By pursuing a foreign policy of principles, we have managed to strengthen the prestige of the country, but also the repercussions of our views everywhere. We face all challenges with calmness, determination and confidence.”

We are not going to enter into an intense competition through verbal confrontations. What we are interested in is the essence and the result “, is the message sent by the Greek capital, which… reads daily the challenges of Ankara and prepares for all the possibilities.

After all, we are not far from the Summit of the “27” leaders of the European Union in Brussels and the NATO Summit in Madrid, with the Greek diplomacy launching the next wave of internationalization of Turkish delinquency.

“We have International Law on our side, we have the allies on our side, we have the absolute ability to defend our national sovereignty and our sovereign rights, without provoking anyone.

Everyone knows that. First of all, those who have been shouting lately are also aware of it “, noted, from the podium of the information of the journalists, the government representative, Giannis Oikonomou.
