The NOTAM that “cuts” the Aegean in half
It is recalled that just yesterday, with also an illegal NOTAM, Erdogan “cuts” the Aegean in half “for a large search and rescue exercise.
According to Mega, on a semantic date, as May 29th, which is the anniversary of the Fall of Istanbul, Ankara essentially binds the entire eastern Aegean.
Turkey has illegally blocked five areas and between the corridors through which it requires passenger and commercial aircraft to maintain safe distances.
The immediate response to the illegal NOTAM was from Greece, emphasizing the illegality of the case, as well as the invalidity of the exercise, as Greece is solely responsible for the search and rescue in the center of the Aegean.
Fourth Turkish drilling rig in the Aegean
A summer similar to that of 2020 seems to be being prepared by Ankara in the Aegean, which does not show any willingness to relax its provocative and aggressive stance against Greece.
The fierce and multi-layered diplomatic game is being played by Turkey, which raises the thermometer of tension every day, with Athens maintaining its composure while sending strict messages through the mouth of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The baton of challenges was received yesterday by the Turkish Minister of Energy. According to SKAI’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, Fatih Donmez revealed that the fourth drilling rig will start operating in two months, while it is already in the port of Mersin in the Eastern Mediterranean, opposite Cyprus.
According to the pro-government press, he will start his work in the Eastern Mediterranean without specifying exactly where. The optimistic scenario is for the Cypriot EEZ, as the journalist reported.
