Discusses the "shift" of the hotbed of confrontation for Turkey from Libya to Cyprus

56

European press releases materials criticizing Turkey's actions in the eastern Mediterranean. In particular, the tightening of Ankara's rhetoric towards Athens and Paris is noted. The Turkish authorities said that Greece is heating up the situation and is trying to "incite other European NATO countries against Turkey."

Meanwhile, the portal The Arab Weekly published an article which says that for Ankara, the hotbed of confrontation from Libya is shifting to Cyprus.



From the article:

The Europeans, especially France and Greece, are irreconcilable on this issue and reject the illegal actions of Turkey aimed at using the wealth of oil and natural gas of the eastern Mediterranean at the expense of the rest of the region, primarily Greece.

The material contains a statement by Turkish writer and opposition figure Ilkhan Tanir. According to critic Erdogan, the Turkish president is now "entering into an alliance with anti-Western forces, including extremists and retired military hawks."

Ilkhan Tanir:

Many of them are officers who previously defended expansionist policies in the Aegean, Mediterranean and other seas and promoted a naval agreement with Libya. The relationship is mutually beneficial as Erdogan gains approval for his policies in Libya and retired military personnel gain recognition, influence and prominence.

The article also cites the opinion of the American professor of international relations Henry Barkey, who believes that a tough confrontation in the eastern Mediterranean will be inevitable if "the Turks remain adamant about the oil and gas resources in the region."

Meanwhile, the Turkish government commented on the recent US decision to lift the supply embargo weapons Cyprus. Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said that this American decision "could lead the situation to a dead end."

        In the event of a fight between Greeks and Turks, it is important for Russia to be an arbiter, to stand above the fight.

        Neither one nor the other is our friend. And I rather sympathize with the former centuries-old enemy - the Turks, than the corrupt Hellenes.

          To the Hellenes of antiquity, today's Greeks, as the Romans to pasta. wassat But at the moment the interests of the Russian Federation and Greece do not overlap. There are no common and disputed borders, etc. The Turks shit on us in our Syria, climb with their Pan-Turkism in the Volga region, the Caucasus and the SA. Do Greeks come to us? In general, we took away from under their noses the lands on which they coveted. It happened with Crimea, it happened with Syria. It is clear that behind Armenia, which dissects the Turkic world, there is Russian power.

    It seems to me that Turkey is a kind of Poland, only to the south. Constantly exudes until she is given another hand. True, Poland has more experience in this regard, right down to the section. We will follow the events, and maybe participate.

          What do you see as a "complete analogy"? Poland is conducting full-scale military operations somewhere? No, just a lot of chatter and that's it.
          And Turkey is already with all four legs in Syria, and in Libya, and in Iraq. Now Cyprus is going to put on the ears.

            It's just that Poland went through it earlier. And more often. Turkey has the same prospects. She has no allies, frankly, there are only enemies around. And the resources are zero.

                  The Poles, as they were anti-Semites, have remained. This is no secret to anyone.
                  But there is no need to compare purple with hot - the Poles of eighty years ago and today's Erdogan.
                  It was not the Poles who knocked down the Russian attack aircraft, it was not the Poles who killed your ambassador with the connivance of the authorities, it was not the Poles who crashed the "Pantsyri" in Libya, it was not the Poles who were taking UAVs to Ukraine, and so on.

        They broke a break, as well as "burnt the salted", but Erdogan and his "sofa" are stubbornly trying to restore it step by step (as well as the current psheks with plans "from can to can").

    It is not this decision that will lead the Turks to a dead end, but the number of conflicts in which the country is participating. Too many of the Turks have become enemies, from the weakest to the superpowers. This means they will find a weak spot and everything will fall down like a house of cards.
