Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan launched a fierce attack against Greece and Cyprus during his visit to Egypt, seeking to entice Cairo into joining the Saudi Arabia–Turkey–Pakistan alliance.

As regional rivalry between Turkey and Israel intensifies—driven by the war involving Iran and Israel’s military focus on its northern front toward Lebanon—Ankara is seeking to weaken the strategic cooperation between Greece, the Republic of Cyprus, and Israel. This trilateral partnership has become a key pillar of stability in the Eastern Mediterranean and strengthens the deterrence capabilities of Athens and Nicosia against major security threats.

Concerns about Ankara's real intentions and motivations are being raised by the methodical escalation of rhetoric in the Greek-Turkish conflict, which began with the hysterical reactions of the Turkish media and the high-profile intervention of the Turkish Minister of National Defense in the statements of Nikos Dendias on the defense of the islands and culminated yesterday with the statements of Hakan Fidan in the Turkish Grand National Assembly.
