Why Erdogan «lost his temper» and then requested a meeting with Dendias

Bilingualism is a strategy, in which Ankara and the Erdogan remain faithful over the course of time. Even before the buzz from the recent Sultan's outburst against Greece - Cyprus, the Turkish Presidency has extended a surprise invitation to the Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, for a meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu.

The Greek side, faithful to its position to keep the gates of dialogue open, accepted the invitation and it remains to be seen whether this sequence of contacts by the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs can pave the way for a summit meeting. Mitsotakis - Erdogan.

The preparation

The European plan to monitor Turkish compliance following the recent Summit but also the activation of the Greek reflexes on the issue of Libya, seem to have added weapons to the quiver of Greek diplomacy recently.

At the same time, the Greek mission demonstrates its readiness to Surprise the relevant provisions in the part concerning the reversible positive agenda, namely bilateral economic cooperation, as the participation of the Minister of State responsible for economic diplomacy attests, Kostas Fragogianni.

The agenda

It is clear that, in addition to bilateral relations, it will also be put on the agenda. Euro-Turkish, while in the frame will be found, both the migration, as well as developments in Syria and Libya. The recent statements by Libyan officials - both on Turkish and Greek soil - that show the North African country's clear orientation towards a policy of equidistance, is expected to put the brakes on the eastward direction of the Greek-Turkish tug-of-war.

The «diagnosis» for the outbreak

The finding that Libyan rhetoric has been showing signs of shifting lately - even on a literary level - is at the root of Erdogan's outburst. This rhetoric, expressed through the mouth of the transitional Libyan prime minister, who spoke of solutions in the interest of many countries in the region, is what makes the validation of the of the turcolibian memorandum until the elections next December. The alarm was of course raised by the consent of the head of the Libyan Presidential Council to the Kyriakos Mitsotakis for the resumption of technical discussions to delimit Libya's maritime zones with Greece.

Small basket

For the appointment with «Friend Mevlut» as Nikos Dendias called him, in front of the Turkish media covering the meeting with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, as well as for the expanded talks, the bar of Greek expectations is not set high.

At the same time as the low tones that were maintained throughout this period, the Greek preparation also recorded the significant distances separating the two sides, on almost the whole range of open issues.

It is expected that the Greek side coming forward with a clear argumentation, will raise the issue of the challenges in a structured way and at the same time make clear the need to define the framework for exploratory talks.

In the diplomatic fund that Athens is making, however, after the completion of the visit of Transitional President of Libya, counting profits.

The agreement to restart the 2010 talks between Athens and Tripoli is a positive event, which demonstrates the change of momentum in Greek-Libyan relations, which the Anchor he was trying to prevent.
