Featured Tsipras to meet Erdogan in Constantinople, 5 Feb.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will travel to Turkey on Tuesday, February 5, to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Constantinople, it was announced on Tuesday.

The agenda of the meeting has not yet become known and thereare fears that the meeting will on;u serve so that Erdogan can reiterate his traditional maximalist credos as concerns the Aegean and Greek territorial waters and the EEZ. There is no indication  that the Greek side will have anything to benefit.

Mr Tsipras' weakness in foreign affairs is also a cause of concern among local analysts, while ordinary people are afraid that he will "cave in" to any Turkish blackmail, bearing in mind that most feel he behaved treacherously and against the popular will, in the issue of Macedonia.
