On August 27, 2020, six F-16 aircraft belonging to Greece took off from Crete towards the Republic of Cyprus and approached the region for which (Turkey - approx.) The international notification NAVTEX was issued. Our F-16 fighters prevented them from approaching this region and forced them to leave the region

      This is not like a normal interception, when you just approach and accompany the target, it is more like simulating close air combat.

      All jokes, but the Turkish army is the second largest in NATO after the American and the second in combat readiness. Turkey does not have enough of the smallest - nuclear weapons, to generally spit on the opinion of Macrons, Merkel and others ... And the Greeks can only be saved by one thing - leaving NATO and entering the CSTO! Like the Bulgarians ... Because NATO is no longer a formidable alliance of like-minded imperialists, but a military-political corpse, corroded by internal contradictions. Sooner or later, the Turks will squeeze the whole of Cyprus and put Athens in the pose of an Olympian on a low start! And no one will stop them from doing it! Then they will take on the "brothers", which in Europe are generally no one and can not be called!

                Dear Eugene, hi
                In view of Erdogan's growing aggressiveness in all directions, Turkey's neighbors began to ponder ... I do not exclude the emergence of a new Balkan military-political union in the future, like the one in 1912. This issue is being raised more and more often in public space!

                There are pre-orders - over the past decades, the old historical conflicts between the Balkan Orthodox countries have disappeared. Relations between them have never been so good. If there is a controversial one, they are all solvable. Interesting in many ways the same!
                What is Russia's attitude to this issue? In fact, strategic interests coincide, while at the same time, the rivalry between Russia and Turkey is fundamental.
                What is the problem? The socio-political system of the modern Russian Federation is closer to that in Turkey! Wallpapers are authoritarian! Democratic principles have already taken root in the Balkan countries, they are more attractive to them.
                But as history shows, the difference in systems is not so important when it comes to strategic partnerships! It's my personal opinion. hi

                It won't work. The Greeks are deeply in debt to the EU, especially to Germany. It got to the point that the Germans demanded several islands in return for the debt. They are still tied up economically and in terms of armaments. If today the Greeks say (they won't say, at the first trying to eat them), suppose we leave you, then it will take from 50 to 100 years for a divorce.

                  Turkey's actions routinely provoke opposition. It will work out or not, depends only on the strength of the action. If Erdogan climbs in the Balkans, where every inch of land remembers Turkish atrocities, he will very quickly receive a collective adequate response.

                    Knowing the Turks, knowing their policies, I can say for sure that the Turks intend to cooperate with the Balkans, and will not climb, as you said.

                        In 1878, Midhat Pasha speaks of their origin as follows: “There are more than one million Mohamedan among Bulgarians. These mohamedans are not strangers from Asia, as is commonly thought. They are the descendants of those very Islamized Bulgarians in the era of conquest and the following years. They are children of that country (Bulgaria), the same race, that tribe.

        The Greeks are working in close alliance with the Franks now. And the Turks have practically placed themselves outside the alliance. Their only ally is Qatar. And by the way, the army of Greece is not small. And if they are still helped by the French, Egyptians, Saudis and emirates who have their own accounts to the Sultan, then you will not envy the Turks. And the Syrians and Iraqis will immediately take advantage of the situation to attack the Turkish occupation forces in their territories. Too many Turks have crossed the road.
        But the most important thing is that the Turks are creating internecine strife in NATO. I hope that it will come to war. Trump is working hard to keep Turkey in NATO. but practically all other countries of the alliance consider the Turks to be a foreign link.

        And the Greeks can only be saved by one thing - leaving NATO and entering the CSTO! Like the Bulgarians ...

        I. In 2017 was Gallup international conducted a global survey in 68 countries of the world: asked respondents to choose a potential military ally of their country from six leading powers. Russia came in second with a score of 15%, behind the United States (41%). The respondents were asked the question: “There are six countries with great military potential in the world - the USA, China, Russia, France, Great Britain and India. Imagine that in the event of a military invasion of your country, you would have to choose an ally from among them. Who would you choose? "
        A number of states in the east and south of Europe - Serbia (58%), Greece (48%), Bulgaria (42%) and Slovenia (30%) - found themselves in the camp of Russia's supporters. Traditionally Slavic Balkan peoples in Vost. Russia is preferred over Europe.
        The results of a survey among the citizens of Greece and Bulgaria show that in the Eastern Mediterranean, within NATO, an axis of countries has formed where the population does not see Russia as an adversary, an enemy, but exactly the opposite - an ally.
        --------------------------------------------------
        II. In another study covering the countries of the former social bloc, it turned out to what extent their citizens perceive Russia as a threat? Bulgaria is in the lead 85% of the country's population does not consider Russia an enemy! Here is one clarification - in Bulgaria, the Turkish and Roma population is approximately 25% of the total population. Based on this amendment, it can be assumed that almost 100% of ethnic Bulgarians do not perceive Russia as a threat.

        -------------------------------------------------- -
        III. In another recent study from February 2020, 2/3 of the Bulgarians rejected the military intervention of their country in the support of a NATO ally during an eventual attack from Russia against him.

            If we remove it with chatter, in fact, the Bulgarian authorities do not consider Russia an enemy either! You probably do not know, but all recent coalition governments include representatives of openly pro-Russian forces, such as the Ataka party. It should be borne in mind that all the same, the authorities are trying to take into account the foreign political situation as a whole, where the main interest of the country is membership in the EU.

                Quite possible. Specifically, Bulgaria speaks about resolving disputes with Turkey through negotiations taking into account the interests of the countries. It should be noted that despite the historical burden, the current relations between Turkey and Bulgaria can be an example for other states. This has been repeatedly noted by the leaders of both countries. But the question is, how long will this last? Erdogan, with his aggressive actions, himself provokes his neighbors to an anti-Turkish unification. The political course towards the restitution of the Ottoman Empire, leading it, is an undeniable threat to all neighboring countries!

                  "Specifically, Bulgaria speaks about resolving disputes with Turkey through negotiations taking into account the interests of the countries." In this case, it is the Greeks who avoid negotiations, knowing that they have gone too far with the rights of the islands. And negotiations will be stuck in their eyes with reference court decisions for such disputes. That is why they avoid. In Europe, the Turks have special, friendly relations with Bulgaria and Hungary. I think. that this will last for a long time and nothing will change it. You probably know that the Hungarians even joined (as an observer so far) to the Turkic Council.
                  And at the expense of the aggressiveness of Erdogan. Iraq and Syria border countries and all the cheese boron of the Turks do not allow the separation of these countries, since in this case they will receive a hostile formation on the southern border - the state of "Kurds". And this is the number one threat to the integrity of Turkey. Libya is an echo and is directly related to the unresolved division of the Mediterranean Sea. That is, in cases at the border - a defensive reaction, and at sea defending their legal share at sea, and this is called aggression by those who do not want to give their share. during the silence of TR for many decades.

                      Of course not. There is a stable border with Bulgaria, no claims to each other. The legal share of the Mediterranean Sea, for which there is a struggle. For example, the Black Sea does not have such problems, since the neighboring countries already divided the sea in 1986 according to international rules.

        Turkey lacks the smallest - nuclear weapons, to generally spit on the opinion of Macrons, Merkel and others ...

        Tactical US nuclear weapons have been deployed on the territory of Turkey, and the Turks do not give a damn about the EU even without nuclear weapons ...
        Refugees sending from Turkey and through Turkey to the EU will be no worse than nuclear weapons for Western European countries ...
        And the Greeks can only be saved by one thing - leaving NATO and entering the CSTO! Like the Bulgarians ...

        Why the hell are they in the CSTO, especially the Bulgarians ..., the latter, due to their "multi-vector nature", have always chosen Russia's enemies as allies in all world wars, and now they are on the side of the enemies of the Russian Federation ....

        Sooner or later, the Turks will squeeze the whole of Cyprus

        In addition, half of the island is already occupied by the Turkish Armed Forces (the 11th AK, consisting of two MD) ....
        And why the hell is Turkey the second half of the island, if Turkey needs gas and oil in the waters of this island .... which they recently explored?
        will put Athens in the pose of an Olympian on a low start! And no one will stop them from doing it!

        NATO will get in the way, Turkey's plans have no desire to withdraw from it ...

        ... you mean the Bulgarians, because in the Bulgarian parliament there is already a strong pro Turkish party that influences decision-making in the field of foreign and domestic policy of Bulgaria, what other brothers, Turks came to Adjara forever, their goal is to take control of the thresholds on the river Euphrates ... and create a "cordon sanitaire" on the territory of the SAR and Iraq from the Kurds ... while everything seems to be going according to plan ...

    As noted in the Turkish Ministry, the fighters were approaching the region, concerning which Ankara "issued an international NAVTEX notification".
    An f-16 of the Turkish air force was lifted into the air to determine the object
    a military aircraft was discovered by a Turkish vessel in the area above the geological survey
    "The plane was identified as belonging to Greece and removed from the region," the Turkish defense Ministry added.
    Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared the country's readiness to protect its interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.

      Of course, the Turks are offended, their economic zone ends in the Aegean Sea at the range of a pebble throw.

      An economic zone is a stretchable thing.

      "... There is also no demarcation between the two states on the continental shelf. The continental shelf is defined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Turkey has not acceded to this. However, customary law recognizes that states can claim a continental shelf up to 200 nautical miles from the coast and possibly beyond. Turkey itself also suggests that it can at least lay claim to such a base from the mainland. At the same time, it denies that the islands can do so. So there are disagreements between Turkey and Greece. . ...
      ... I think that Turkey's position is not as bad as it is now presented. Because the demarcation of the continental shelf and economic zones is not necessarily based on a central line, but on justice and equality. In resolving international border disputes, it is recognized that the length of the coastline plays a role and is taken into account - and that smaller islands that would distort the border may be excluded from delimitation.

      This could mean that Turkey will get more shares than if the central line was simply drawn between the Greek islands and the Turkish mainland. Therefore, it is not as easy as the Greek side does. This is why the motives for escalating the dispute are not entirely clear to me from a Turkish point of view. Only: as long as there is no agreement or the dispute is not referred to arbitration or an international court, there will be a deadlock and escalation through Turkey, which we are now seeing .. "
