Greece has openly expressed its willingness to commence a substantial dialogue with Turkey which both the EU and the US strongly support.

Erdogan has established an authoritarian regime which as all such regimes is afraid of its own shadow and the political system remains deeply divided.

What would happen for example if a Turkish ship were conducting exploration and Ankara had issued a NAVTEX tying up the sea area?

Ensuring Greek national interests requires vigilance and a series of steps that will demonstrate that Greece is not merely an observer or trailing behind.

At a presentation at the Atlantic Council in Washington Mitsotakis stressed that Greece will cede an inch of territory or other violations of sovereign rights.

Following his talks with Tayyip Erdogan, PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis reminded us that with Turkey 'there were, are, and always will be difficulties'.

The war of words between the two countries began when outgoing foreign minister Nikos Kotzias announced that Greece will issue a presidential decree exercising its right under international law to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles in the Ionian Sea.
