Turkey's autocratic leader is an exponent of contemporary revisionism and cannot understand that Ankara cannot have its cake and eat it.

Ο τούρκος πρόεδρος για μία ακόμη φορά παίζει τα δικά του παιχνίδια προκειμένου να εξασφαλίσει ανταλλάγματα και να μην ασκήσει βέτο στην ένταξη Φινλανδίας - Σουηδίας στο ΝΑΤΟ

Journalist and author Vladislav Davidzon organised a dinner with the the then presidential candidate. The atmosphere was so convivial that the discussion lasted three hours.

Καθώς η Φινλανδία και η Σουηδία οδεύουν προς το ΝΑΤΟ, η προοπτική έχει αρχίσει να προβληματίζει έντονα και άλλες ουδέτερες ή στρατιωτικά αδέσμευτες χώρες στην Ευρώπη, με φόντο τη ρωσική εισβολή στην Ουκρανία

The talks come amid heightened Greek-Turkish tensions in the Aegean, with an exponential increase in violations of Greek national airspace, and Ankara's return to the fold.

The emerging security terrain in Europe can be help manage Greek-Turkish disputes with realism. It was never in Greece’s interest for Turkey to be isolated and humiliated.

«Η Τουρκία δεν θα προβάλει εμπόδια στην ένταξη της Φινλανδίας και της Σουηδίας στο ΝΑΤΟ» ανέφερε ο γενικός γραμματέας της Συμμαχίας Γενς Στόλτενμπεργκ.

Από το Βερολίνο, ο Νίκος Δένδιας είπε ότι η Ελλάδα είναι έτοιμη να καλωσορίσει στη νατοϊκή οικογένεια τις δύο σκανδιναβικές χώρες.

'This must cease immediately. Turkey is not complying with any sanctions [against Russia], and that is not in line with the [stance of] the European family,' Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said today.

Σήμερα είναι απολύτως αδύνατο να υιοθετηθούν κοινές αποφάσεις από 27 ανεξάρτητες χώρες, με συγκρουόμενα συμφέροντα. Και αυτό είναι εξαιρετικά επικίνδυνο σε στιγμές όπως η τωρινή.

Poland is now grappling with over two million refugees (1.7mn Ukrainian citizens) that have crossed from Ukraine to Poland since the 24 February Russian invasion, and is expecting prompt EU assistance.

If Putin should perceive this stance of the West as a sign of weakness and seek to correct “the errors of history” by extending his military campaign to NATO countries, the Third World War will be upon us.

Greece must be exceedingly careful. It must not sever lines of communication and should play an important role in the effort to establish peace and stability.

Ο γ.γ.του ΝΑΤΟ κάλεσε τη Μόσχα να κάνει πίσω.

Counter-espionage information showed that other Russian forces are ready to wage war. Bombings in eastern parts of Ukraine controlled by Moscow could function as a pre-announced pretext for a Russian invasion.

In his presentation, Dendias offered comprehensive answers to Turkey’s claims with maps illustrating Ankara’s flouting of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Greece, utilising its historic ties with Russia and given its role as a state at the core of the Western camp, can be one of the countries that contribute to stability.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Kosovo asks Athens to play a mediating role in the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue, while emphasisng her country’s Western orientation.

Greece is a peaceful Western country, but without being pliant and complaisant. Through deterrence and decisiveness it sends the analogous signals. Through constant diplomatic pressure, it reminds one that Greece’s borders are the EU’s borders.

There is a diachronic dilemma of how a Western liberal democracy should deal with an authoritarian or dictatorial regime. How does one balance the carrot and the stick? How many concessions can one make?

Turkey is already a quasi-regional power, despite it great economic problems. It aims to become something more – perhaps a hegemonic power in the regional system and beyond, and naturally it provokes Greece’s righteous indignation.

Even if the Turkish foreign minister disputes the sovereignty of “militarised” Greek Aegean islands, and his Greek counterpart describes the Turkish government’s stance as the “epitome of irrationality, bilateral exploratory talks continue.

Η Ρωσία όλο το τελευταίο διάστημα αναφέρεται στις σχέσεις με τις ΗΠΑ με ιδιαίτερα μελανά χρώματα.

At a time when a series of issues remain open, Greece and Russia have a certain osmosis that will continue with cooperation and communication.
