🔶 growing tension between Greece and Turkey; End of the "Blue Aegean Peace" era.

The tension between Greece and Turkey rose again; Greece criticizes the violation of its airspace, the establishment of Turkish marine parks, which Athens considers illegal, and the transfer of Turkish forces to the coastal areas.

On the other hand, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, demanded that Greece stop the "militarization" of its islands. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Piden sees this situation as a threat to his country's security.

Mary Bossi, professor emeritus of international security, warned of rising tensions and a threatening tone in both countries. According to him, regional and international conditions and uncertainty may intensify tensions.

At the same time, Greece focuses on military deterrence. At the end of August, this country signed a contract for one billion weapons with prisoners of Israel. Greece is getting an extensive air defense system based on the "Achilles Shield" program and has also increased investment in its arms industry.
