Turkey Greece Relations and Maritime Disputes



Front-page news from Yunan Estia newspaper:İbrahim Kalın did not only meet with Demiris, the Head of the Greek Intelligence Service (EYP), during his Athens visit. He also held a secret meeting with Prime Minister Miçotakis.Kalın delivered a very harsh ultimatum to Miçotakis. He reminded him of Turkey's red lines on the 12-mile issue, Cyprus, and especially the growing closeness with Israel. He stated that crossing these red lines could lead to consequences including military intervention.Miçotakis, who backed down, wanted to keep the meeting secret to protect his reputation, but he couldn't prevent it from leaking to the press. The leak came not from Turkey, but from Greece.
 
Iran should be encouraged to bomb Greece and Cyprus bases used by Israel and other Crusaders in the next round of clashes. Greece has become a hub of Zionist activity and is an active threat to Turkey.

A positive thing is that no one will come to help Greece.

Its not in Turkish interests for Greece's territory to be hit, that triggers Article 5, which is not in Turkish interests, nor is it in Iran's interests.

Cyprus is a different situation as it isn't NATO, but its still complicated because of the EU matter, there will be pressure on EU states to act.

Its absolutely in our interests.

Article 5 has no obligatory to respond militairily. Members can also give only political support if they want.

So Turkey can condemn Iran and send food and tents to Greece and thats it.

Americans will try to rope in a "coalition" of EU to go fight Iran, they will demand Turkey give airspace and territory to launch operations.

Material aid to Greece will also draw Turkey into a conflict it doesn't want against someone it doesn't want to fight, to help someone it doesn't want to help.

The cost benefit also doesn't make sense for Iran. They would rather have the EU waste resources fighting Russia in Ukraine and the Eastern Europe front, not tied to stuff against Iran.

The Israeli assets destroyed in Cyprus or Greece pales in comparison to the headache. Targeting is also harder, b/c the strike has to go past Israel to hit Cyprus and Greece. I think Iran would like to rather hit stuff inside Israel or in Jordan.
 
The Iranians should particularly target the British base in Greece/Cypress as it is being used against Iran.
