Of Dimitris Gatsiou

Athens continues to watch with calm and determination the new crescendo of Turkish provocations, responds with confidence to Ankara’s unbridled rhetoric, its positions are based on international law and strong alliances, and the strategy it pursues is at the forefront of its international leadership, but also to point out that equal distances are no longer meant by partners in the European Union and NATO.

After the clear support of the President of the French Republic, Emanuel Macron, who stood by our country through a strong statement, at the end of the extraordinary Summit of the “27” leaders, yesterday it was Berlin’s turn to choose the path of change of style towards Turkey.

Speaking to reporters, he noted that it is not acceptable to question the sovereignty of the member states of the European Union. “Invasion of Greek airspace and flying over Greek islands are not acceptable actions, they are counterproductive and against the spirit of the alliance… The sovereignty of the member states of the European Union can not be accepted…

The Chancellor is of the opinion that, given the current situation, it is necessary for all NATO allies to be united and to avoid challenges with each other… It is in the interest of all of us to treat each other in the Alliance with respect and to ensure good and durable relationships. “Solutions for open issues through dialogue and in the spirit of good neighborliness must be sought together,” was the message conveyed by the representative of the German capital, with Athens’ satisfaction being clear.

Mr. Mitsotakis’s choice to internationalize President Erdogan’s lion’s presentations, presenting the map of the “blue homeland” produces, according to government officials, tangible results, Ankara is constantly isolated and the position of the representative of the German government of the Chancellor, Soltz, is a clear departure from the rhetoric of equal distances.

At a time when the leadership of the neighbor chooses, again, to follow the path of provocations and rhetorical outbursts, causing deep cracks even in the unity of the Alliance, the current presence of the Prime Minister in Kos and Pserimos acquires special importance. .

Mr. Mitsotakis, who was also in 2017 on the small island of Akriti, is expected, with his presence today in Pserimos to send new messages of composure and confidence, with the focus of Athens focusing on the next two major milestones of June.
