Erdogan's diplomatic “counterattack” with “Greek certificate” and Greece absent

Greece is once again left out of another important conference, the one they announced Germany and UN for the Libya! Our alliances, which have been so heavily publicized lately, don’t seem to have “worked”—probably because we didn’t take advantage of them.

At the same time, Erdogan, having received a “certificate of good conduct” from Greece, based on what was said during the visit Cavusoglu In Athens, he launches a “diplomatic counteroffensive,” ranging from veiled “threats” to “Oriental flattery.”.

Erdogan reminded the Biden that Turkey is “too big” for the U.S. to lose. The ongoing negotiations between Washington and Ankara could prove extremely dangerous for Greek interests, since, In the “give-and-take” between the Americans and the Turks, Greece could become the “Iphigenia” sacrificed to satisfy “Turkish demands” as a trade-off for what Washington is asking of Ankara.

The Turkish president has also targeted the Egypt And not only that, but constantly sending “friend requests.”.

Turkey hopes to maximize its cooperation with Egypt and the Gulf countries «on a mutually beneficial basis,» said the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as Ankara is working to mend its strained relations with Cairo and with certain Arab Gulf countries after years of tensions.

Relations between Ankara and Cairo have remained tense ever since the Egyptian military overthrew the democratically elected president in 2013 Mohamed Morsi, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood who is close to Erdogan.
Turkey's relations with Saudi Arabia are also strained due to Turkey's support for Qatar in a regional dispute and due to the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Sunni kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul.

«Our desire is to make the most of these opportunities for cooperation and to improve our relations on a mutually beneficial basis… The same applies to all Gulf countries,» the Turkish president said in an interview with the state broadcaster, TRT Haber.

It would be a good idea for Athens, in addition to promoting our alliances, to start making the most of them. So far, there is no indication anywhere that this is happening. The “joint training exercises” that are frequently announced mean nothing on their own, and this was evident from our absence at the conference on Libya, organized by our “ally” Germany.
