The day that dawned is not like all the others. It is an extremely difficult day, since in the morning and as a result of developments in Syria, Greece is facing the possible attempt of a mass invasion of migrants-refugees from Evros. Possibly, what we have been seeing since morning is just a foretaste.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is threatening to fight the Syrian army directly if Syrian President Bashar Assad does not stop his assault on Idlib, the last major zone controlled by the Syrian opposition. While Erdogan imagined himself a master tactician, he is now learning that it was Russian President Vladimir Putin who played him. Erdogan discarded decades of alliance with the United States for a brief fling, only to discover Putin’s professions of love were for more limited aims.
The Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry's spokesman Alexandros Gennimatas on Wednesday evening commented on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's new claims that the status quo Turkey has declared in the Mediterranean waters has slowly begun to be accepted by the countries involved in the matter, especially Greece.
