Erdogan continues to provoke, despite the dilemma of "de-escalation or sanctions" posed by the EU, in view of the extraordinary summit on September 24th and 25th. The war atmosphere was also triggered by the information about the gathering of Turkish armor, however, as it became known later, these are returns from Syria.

The escalating daily inflammatory rhetoric of the Turkish political leadership against Greece is not accidental. In fact, the fact that they are led by Tayyip Erdogan himself, as well as the fact that he uses offensive expressions that are not common even among enemies, leaves no room for misinterpretation. They are the drums of war.

Intense behind the scenes diplomacy is in progress in order to achieve de-escalation in the region of the southeastern Mediterranean and to avoid an accident that could lead to a hot incident between Greece and Turkey.
