The Greek government is cautious about Turkey's next move, as it appears from the statements of ministers, regarding a "de-escalation" in the Aegean.
"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.
