Βy Dimitris Konstantakopoulos
In a previous article we discussed the decision of Ankara to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque in the wider and changing strategic context of Eastern Mediterranean and of shifting Turkish politics.
This decision and also the outrageous Turkish – Libyan Memorandum on dividing maritime zones in Eastern Mediterranean, which does not recognize any rights to the Greek islands, are two policies which add fuel to an escalating crisis between Greece and Turkey, a crisis with the potential of bringing the two countries to war. Such a possibillity is already discernible in the event Turkey tries to make drills near the coasts of the Greek islands of Kastellorizo, Rhodes and Crete. The Greek government will be, in such a case, under enormous pressure to react militarily and, if it does not react, will risk to fall.
A war between Greece and Turkey may be desired by international centers of power in order, among other things, to curtail Turkish independence tendencies and to undermine Erdogan by pushing him to “overextension”. This is a classic method used with Saddam, with Milosevic and with the Greek CIA-imposed dictator Ioannides, who organized a coup d’ etat in Cyprus believing (and having assurances) he will unite it with Greece in 1974, only to see the Turkish army invade the island. The architect of all this operation, behind both the Greek and the Turkish side of the equation, was the criminal figure of Henry Kissinger, ancestor of the present – day Neocons, who is said to enjoy, even nowadays, a considerable influence on Donald Trump.
