But officials comment that this can happen in parallel with the process of Sweden joining NATO and its approval by the Turkish Parliament. We’ll see the schedule. But the first step will be to send the request to Congress. The second step will be to make sure that the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Congress, Bob Menendez, does not make problems.”

What do Turkish analysts say?
Meanwhile, Turkish analysts report that “Greece has maximalist policies such as the militarization of the islands and the 12 miles” and add that it is Greece that must make concessions.
Specifically, Fenerbahce University professor Etze Baban emphasized: As we see in Mitsotakis’ statements. At the level of statements, we see a Greece that declares that it wants peace, but when we look at their policies, we see that it is a Greece with maximalist policies. So we are at an impasse. We refer to the militarization of the islands, we refer to the 12 mile issue and many other such issues. With Greece there are many such issues. In order to resolve these issues, Greece must stop maximalist policies, stop showing Turkey as a threat. Greece is a member of the EU and Turkey is not. the issue is not just militarization. There are islands where no new habitats should be created. Here we see how he takes advantage of EU funds, and with rare bird observatories he tries to create habitats.
