"We will never compromise with the consequences of the Turkish invasion," Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Monday in a statement on the 46th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus on July 20, 1974, which led to the occupation of more than a third of the island. 

Greek-Turkish relations are going down even more difficult paths in the near future. This is evidenced by the ever-increasing challenges on the part of Ankara, while the de-escalation that both Athens and other European capitals expected, does not seem to be in Erdogan's plans.

The geopolitical and diplomatic balances may not have allowed tonight's EU Foreign Affairs Council a harsh condemnation of Turkey for its provocative actions in the Eastern Mediterranean and Hagia Sophia, but that does not mean that hurtful sanctions are not being discussed.
