Everyone is worried – the U.S. and the Europeans with the German “friends” – they say they are worried about the tension between the Greeks and the Turks, but none of them dare to say who is causing it.

Everyone is calling for “de-escalation,” but no one dares to say anything to Turkey.

Everyone talks about “international law” and refuses to accept that Turkey has turned it into a joke.

Everyone avoids condemning Turkish nonsense in the Aegean, Mediterranean, Libya and Iraq…

Europeans are inactive at a totalitarian leader who violates human rights and freedoms and do absolutely nothing! In Venezuela and Belarus they pretend to be “lions” and in Turkey they are silent.

They all put forward their economic and accounting interests, putting in second place the geopolitics and the democracy that Europe is supposed to serve. We say now… Europeans and Americans are looking forward to moving their “economic activities” from China to Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan “bakes” them and guarantees them starvation wages and the provision of working conditions of the Middle Ages.

Somehow, all these so-called defenders of democracy and the rule of law are waiting for Greece to back down from the irrational demands of the Turkish regime. This is the so-called support for “statements of support” and “understanding”. All of them seek this and in retreat they want to push us.

In 1996 it was “you will be killed for two rocks”? Now it is “but for such an island you will make war”? The misfortune for Greece is that inside the country there are even members of the Greek parliament bidding !!! The videos are circulating with their statements on the internet that say that “Kastelorizo has 480 inhabitants and Turkey has millions, so what can we do”! They have said it, they have been registered and yet they were chosen to go on the ballot and they are members of the Greek Parliament.

So everyone is asking us to back off. People have understood this and are watching the developments rather “frozen.” Today we find an inexplicable… anxiety of Greek politicians to “go and talk to Turkey.” But they do not tell us what to go and discuss.

Our retreat is sought and awaited by the “allies”. Nothing else.

Will we meet their expectations?

u.s is deliberating showing leniancy against turkey so war breakout between russia, their european allies and turkey
 
So flaunting international laws by encroaching on maritime rights of Turkey was not a provocation by Greece and Egypt? Other countries are quoting international laws bcz they know Greece initiated this $hit fest to provoke Turkey. No one will come to help Greece bcz they violated the laws.
 
Greeks in deep desperation.

Last day at EU summit, Greece's call for sanctions against Turkey vetoed by Germany, Italy, Hungary, Malta, Bulgaria and Spain.

Merkel asked Erdoğan to stop drills during negotiations and Turkey did so as a positive gesture. Erdoğan said Merkel that he doesn't trust Greeks. Just the next day Greece went to sign a deal with Egypt. They made Merkel so damn angry and proved Erdoğan was right.

They don't want negotiation. They want all East-Med for themselves and Turkey to lock in Antalya beach. They think EU will come and help them, NATO is their security dog...

Greeks should stop maximalist plans and should try to negotiate and learn to share.

No one wants to bear this spoilt kid's ego anymore. That's it.

A country which is near bankruptcy and sky high ego and expansionalism will push anyone away .
 
The reason why EU act like this is because they screwd, Germany asked Turkey to step back for negotiation. After that they made a agreement with Egypt without EU know. That pissed specially Germany and the EU, so they have no bargain chip left.
 
A staff from PDF using Greekcitytimes (the most unreliable and anti-Turkish media-outlet) as a discussion starter.

And people were arguing that some in the PDF staff/administration are not anti-Turkish.

Nothing wrong with sharing something from the opposing side. It adds to the discussion.

Cancel culture is sheer stupidity.

We need debate and discussion. Not knowing a viewpoint will not make a viewpoint disappear. We all need to know opposing viewpoints. This is why Indian are free to post all their propaganda on PDF. Without it, PDF risks becoming an echo chamber.

Senior members of this forum like Windjammer post links to OpIndia, a right-wing website associated with Hindutva/RSS/BJP with a track record of publishing hate speech, anti-Pakistan and anti-Islam pieces.

Not when the content is clearly biased and seeking to promote an agenda.


What non-sense.

You don't understand what OpEds are?

Bias? Is the New York Times free of bias? Of course not!

If this fragile mentality takes over PDF then everything will be banned.
