There has been a record number of of Turkish violations of Greek airspace and territorial waters so far this year, and Ankara’s lays claim, counter to international law, to dozens Greek islands and islets.

'I have instructed the Greek Embassy in Ankara to deliver a strong demarche regarding Turkish harassment of the research vessel “Nautical Geo” as well as the issuance of an illegitimate NAVTEX. This continuing stance on the part of Ankara is entirely unacceptable,'

The main obstacle to an understanding has been the fact that over the decades Ankara has vastly expanded its claims against Greece, ranging from territorial claims to Turkey’s efforts to encroach on Greece’s (and Cyprus’) EEZ.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu’s five-hour visit to Thrace today naturally once again included references to a “Turkish minority”, including during his visit with the two illegal muftis of Thrace.

The defence of Greece’s rights and the strict invocation of international treaties and the obligations that they produce for all parties can bring only benefits.

'Greece's position is clear. Turkey has violated international law and maritime law in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean,' Dendias said. "You come out here, and try to accuse Turkey, to give a message to your country,' Cavusoglu said.

The prospect of high-level political negotiations between Athens and Ankara has fueled concerns among analysts that Greece may make concessions that touch on national sovereignty.

The Dendias-Cavusoglu talks were discussed during political consultations between Greece and Turkey held parallel to ongoing exploratory talks.

Greek diplomats had long privately conceded that it is Ankara that has long worked to block any EEZ deal between Greece and its neighbours.

The second parameter of the Greece-Italy EEZ agreement is the content of the agreement – the right of islands to have sea zone

The head of the National Libyan Army has expressed his intense displeasure over Greece’s exclusion from the Berlin Conference.

Dendias underlined the significance of the joint Greece-Russia Consultations Program 2020-2022, which provides for regularly held meetings at the political level.

Στην διάψευση των εκτιμήσεων, ότι ο εντοπισμός και η σύλληψη του καταδικασμένου για τρομοκρατία Νίκου Μαζιώτη ήταν τυχαία, προχώρησε ο υπουργός Δημόσιας Τάξης Βασίλης Κικίλιας την Πέμπτη. Αφησε να εννοηθεί ότι η Αντιτρομοκρατική παρακολουθούσε τον Ν.Μαζιώτη και ευχαρίστησε διά τηλεοράσεως «το κορίτσι της Αντιτρομοκρατικής» που τον εντόπισε.
