Turkey’s rage against Greece and Cyprus over ‘Strategic Compass’

Greece and Cyprus “see” behind the “Strategic Compass” and that is why, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it issued an angry statement accusing the EU of ignoring Ankara’s rights, while with regime rhetoric it dictates that “the document will not lead in the right strategies “.

The announcement in detail:

“The document and especially the text concerning the Eastern Mediterranean, which refers to our country, seems to have been dictated by two EU members who have maximalist demands for the maritime border, and insist on denying the rights of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots. This chapter is in complete contradiction with EU international law. With this view, it is difficult to see the document, it fails to point in the right direction and thus ceases to be a “compass” as a “strategic”. This document will make the EU part of the problems and not the solutions in the Eastern Mediterranean and will not lead it to the right strategies.

“Given the latest developments, it is a lack of vision and it is unfortunate for the EU that the document omits the facts and the truth in this way and so shallowly confronts a candidate country and a NATO ally.”

European Officer

Turkey is an important country for the EU and we will try to have as positive a relationship as possible, but “at the same time we know that there are challenges in the region, so it is in the Strategic Compass,” a senior European official told APE-MPE when asked about the reaction. of Ankara on the paragraph concerning the Eastern Mediterranean.

The same official noted that “we tried to find something that is close, an already agreed language from Summits or Councils of Ministers.

“What is in the paragraph on the Eastern Mediterranean is something that has already been said by the Council in recent months and in recent years.”

He also stressed that “it is very important to maintain a strong relationship with Turkey, which is a very important country for us, and to try to have a constructive, as positive a relationship with this country as possible. But at the same time we know that there are challenges in area and that is why it is in Compass “.
