A new problem threatens Greek-Turkish relations, Erdogan ready to take advantage
Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Erdogan

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will try to take the next step in the unstable balance of recent years between Greece and Turkey. 

Their expected meeting on September 17 or 18 in New York, on the sidelines of the annual United Nations General Assembly, is part of a relay race aimed at understanding between Athens and Ankara.

It is not an easy task, since the positions of the two countries seem to be opposite on the essential issues, where the differences are insurmountable, writes Protothema.

After the earthquakes in Turkey that caused as many victims as the two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on the ground, respectively in the Aegean and in the Eastern Mediterranean, the cancellation of violations of Greek airspace by Turkish warplanes and the absence of provocative movements by the neighbor's research vessels in the areas seas that are not demarcated allow everyone to talk about improving the climate.

However, immigration is the new problem that threatens to bring back doubts in Greek-Turkish relations. relations. In the last days of August, almost every day 400-500 migrants leaving in different boats from the coast of Turkey reach the Aegean islands to seek asylum. 

The Greek side knows and informs the Europeans that this practice takes place with the tolerance of the Turkish authorities.

However, Ankara insists that the Hellenic Coast Guard engage in so-called "occupations" to prevent ships carrying migrants from entering Greek territorial waters wherever possible. 

This issue will certainly be among the first to be discussed today, Tuesday, in Ankara by Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan. 

According to the schedule, the Gerapetritis-Fidan meeting will start at 10:05 and is expected to last about 2.5 hours with joint statements scheduled to start at 12:30.

The question is whether the Erdogan government will get the rewards it seeks, namely the new, generous, financial aid from the European Union soon to turn off the taps and stop the loads of poor migrants who want to enter European lands by any means.

Athina nuk e ka problem të rreshtohet me pretendimin turk për ndihmë të re financiare nga Brukseli, duke qenë se pas mbytjes fatale të anijes në Pylos, çdo trajtim grek i valëve të emigrantëve është nën mikroskopin e komunitetit ndërkombëtar dhe mediave kryesore të huaja.

Në të njëjtën kohë, ministri grek i Mbrojtjes Kombëtare, Nikos Dendias, pritet të jetë në Turqi në shtator, në një datë të pacaktuar ende. Siç mësohet protothema.gr, turqit kanë ftuar zotin Dendias dhe ai deri më tani është përgjigjur pozitivisht. Në fund të fundit, vizita e Nikos Dendias në Turqi është në pritje që nga telefonata e parë që pati me homologun e tij turk Yasar Guler në korrik, pasi ata morën detyrën në Ministrinë e Mbrojtjes. Kujtohet se ditët e mëparshme u qarkullua në shtypin turk se ministri i Mbrojtjes Yasar Güler do të vinte në Athinë pas një ftese përkatëse, e cila në fund të fundit nuk ndodhi dhe u mohua nga Ministria e Mbrojtjes Kombëtare greke.

As part of the confidence-building measures, the heads of the military affairs portfolios in Athens and Ankara may discuss concrete steps to consolidate the "no war" climate, possibly with some movement around issues related to the two's major military exercises. Aegean.
