Erdogan Challenges Sovereignty Rights of Cyprus-Greece-Egypt

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is challenging the sovereign rights of Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt with a letter to the UN Secretary-General, a few days after his meeting with the Greek Prime Minister. The letter contains threats against Greece and Cyprus, causing strong reactions. The article's author criticizes the 'rapprochement' with Turkey from the Greek side, as they believe Ankara will not respect any concessions. They point out that Turkish challenges are continuous and that Greece shows weakness in dealing with them. The response from the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs is deemed insufficient, while Athens is called upon to respond forcefully to Turkey’s provocations.
