Greece Turkey: Serious episode yesterday with Cengiz Han accompanying Oruc Reis - Electronic interference and Greek submarine responds to Erdogan
Ioanna Iliadi writes
The situation in the area where the Turkish research vessel Oruc Reis is trying to conduct research is reminiscent of a war zone scene.
Serious episode with Oruc Reis' Cengiz Han
After the "interception" that allegedly took place in a Turkish warship from the frigate LIMNOS, now very intense information has been reported that there have been other very serious confrontations between Greek and Turkish warships that accompany the Oruc Reis.
In fact, things appear to be much more serious than the "incident" with the frigate LEMNOS, since it is said that a Turkish ship got to the point of using either warning fire or electronic countermeasures, when it was "squeezed" a lot by a Greek warship.
If such an incident did occur, one way or another, it is now clear that this is a high-risk episode. Note that the use of electronic countermeasures is considered a "weapon".
At the same time, according to the same information, it seems that the Oruc Reis found itself in a particularly difficult position, when a Greek submarine approached it and "disturbed" it more than the Turks expected.
All this, of course, is not just reminiscent of an operation of "mild" deterrence by the Greek forces, and "slight" - "symbolic" aggression on the part of the Turks accompanying the research vessel, but a normal scene of confrontation, where one mistake is enough to cause an "accident", and this, in turn, causes a rift between the two sides.
Greece - Turkey: War Games
So, after the "incident" with "Lemnos", according to the same information, the following occurred:

Oruc Reis on its way back to the Greek mainland
Yesterday afternoon, a Greek warship and, according to information, the Turkish, accompanying Oruc Reis, CENGIZ HAN, seem to have been extremely close.
The Turkish CENGIZ HAN, in fact, seems to have been pressured so much by the Greek, that it was forced into a series of maneuvers in order to avoid the Greek.
Greece Turkey: Serious episode yesterday with Cengiz Han accompanying Oruc Reis - Electronic interference and Greek submarine responds to Erdogan
When, however, the "pressing" continued, the Turkish military from those in the area was forced to use electronic interference, with the result that the electronic systems of the Greek military were put out of operation.
This fact is recorded as a particularly serious incident. It is even said that Kyriakos Mitsotakis called the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and she in turn called Tayyip Erdogan.
The latter, however, as is well known, did not fail to throw harsh remarks, saying that "today the Greeks got a first answer".
The Turkish president apparently forgets the "hound" of the Turkish ships from the frigate LIMNOS, as well as the many maneuvers of avoidance made by the "CENGIZ HAN" to "escape" from the Greek ship.
On the other hand, however, if it is actually confirmed that, due to the electronic countermeasures, the electronic systems of the Greek ship died, then a serious question arises as to the protection of some Greek ships.
Tayyip Erdogan, however, did not manage to rejoice much, as everything shows, since shortly after the new incident of a Greek boat with "Gengis Khan", a Greek submarine came too close to the research boat Oruc Reis, causing, not simply surprise, but real panic on the Turkish side.
Especially since neither the Turkish warships accompanying the research vessel managed to perceive the submarine, nor the Oruc Reis itself.
This, it is said, was the Greek response to T. Erdogan's verbal jokes.
Is the Turkish embassy "listening"?
In this climate, which carries serious risks of ignition, and Ankara seems to have decided to continue playing with fire, an emergency briefing was held yesterday at the Maximos Palace by the head of GEETHA, Costas Floros.
The meeting was attended by the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense, Nikos Dendias and Nikos Panagiotopoulos, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis.
As is well known, the Maximos Palace is only a hundred meters from the Turkish embassy. We hope that the Prime Minister's seat is "shielded" by all kinds of… listeners!

Turkey warns France after alleged confrontation with Greece in Mediterranean

His words were echoed by Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who said that Greece should not provoke the vessel “like it did before”, also warning that there would be a response. Cavusoglu also noted that Switzerland has offered to mediate in the conflict and that Ankara has agreed in principle.

Turkish lira ended the day at a record low, 7.3826 per dollar, on Friday, as industry leaders continue to protest Finance Minister Berat Albayrak’s televised interview earlier in the week.

Albayrak, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s son-in-law, dismissed concerns over the hike in the dollar on Wednesday, saying those whose salaries were not paid in the foreign currency need not worry.

“What is important is not the exchange rate, but whether it is competitive,” the minister said.

However, businesses that work for the domestic market and those that depend on imports say if the dollar continues this high, they will have to hike their prices – which in turn will affect inflation.

Chairman of the ready-wear industry council Sheref Fayat told news website Diken that textile businesses for instance lose money under volatile exchange rates.

“For instance, an importer would buy goods when dollar traded at 6 liras, then sell the goods in lira, to be paid in four to five months,” Fayat said. “By that time, dollar would rise to 7.3, so the importer could not even replace his initial investment.”

Some raw materials, such as polyester fibre, are direct imports, while others including cotton are priced over dollars despite being domestic products.

As an unexpected side effect, the retail sector is seeing a revival as consumers rush to get the products they need –especially electronics- before price hikes hit, Turkey’s Federation of Malls and Retailers Chairman Alp Önder Özpamukçu said.

“As stocks run low, prices will start to go up,” he said.

MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THE TURKS WANT AND DESERVE!!!

I was wondering how is that possible for the Greek MILITARY navy to be UNSHIELDED??? It is 2020 for God's sake!!!

I know this happened to the Americans in the Black Sea when a Russian airplane jammed the electronics, and the radar screen went pitch black so the American vessel had to head asap to Constantza port in Romania The Greeks learned nothing out of it?

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut cavusoglu is begging the EU to not defend Greece and Cyprus.

Geoffrey Pyatt, the US Ambassador to Athens, stated that the newest naval base of the #US navy is preparing to go to Greece.

Please note this: In our estimation, the USA, with its military presence in the EastMediterranean region, will help ensure that no further NATO member interferes in the event of a military conflict between Greece & Turkey.

France should refrain from ‘escalating tensions’ in eastern Mediterranean: Turkey

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday France should refrain from steps that
escalate tensions in the eastern Mediterranean, where Ankara is embroiled in a dispute with Greece over Turkish oil and gas exploration in disputed waters.

Switzerland has offered to mediate in the row and Turkey has agreed in principle, Cavusoglu told a televised news conference with his Swiss counterpart in Bern, adding Greece will get a response if it provokes the Turkish Oruc Reis survey vessel in the region.

The French military conducted training exercises with Greek forces in the region on Thursday, according to defense sources.

The nightmare for a Turkish submarine pursuit by AB-212ASW and S-70B AegeanHawk NavyAn overnight thriller chase of a Turkish submarine took place on Wednesday in the sea area between Cape Kafireas and the Kalogeri Islands.
In more detail, on Wednesday afternoon, a pair of AB-212ASW and S-70B Aegean Hawk helicopters spotted a Turkish submarine in the area between Cape Kafireas and the Kalogeri Islands in the central Aegean.
The Turkish submarine, the type of which is not known, was located and monitored by the first pair of helicopters for about 30-60 minutes. A pair of S-70B Aegean Hawk helicopters then replaced the original pair of anti-submarine combat helicopters and continued to chase the submarine for three hours.
After the second mission, the submarine was searched by a third pair of anti-submarine combat helicopters for a long time, but was not finally located.
But the fourth pair of helicopters was luckier than the third third pair replaced. Consisting of two S-70B Aegean Hawk helicopters, they located the Turkish submarine 10 nm south of the initial point where it had been located earlier.
The chase ended in the early hours of Thursday when another pair of helicopters took off to search with the frigate Themistocles (F 465) for the submarine, which as it turned out I was lost in the waters of the Central Aegean east of Andros.

Unbelievable! German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas tweeted before the meeting of EU foreign ministers began, calling on Greece and Turkey via Twitter to sit down at the negotiating table.

Maas's tweets are indicative of the climate in which the extraordinary meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers was held. The area it claims, to the detriment of an EU member state.

One wonders, is it possible that while the Summit has not started and has not even discussed the burning Greek-Turkish issue, the German Minister to expose, with his tweets, the Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, who also took part in the meeting?

For his part, the Greek Foreign Minister said that it was possible for him to tolerate such an attitude on the part of his German counterpart, and then, after the end of the meeting, to appear as if everything went well at the Summit, and to support, more or less, that Greece achieved its goals, after receiving another wish list - verbal support from a portion of EU Foreign Ministers?

As in most of the previous meetings of EU Foreign Ministers, so now, Greece has received tea and sympathy for Turkey's challenges, but no practical commitment to substantial support for its neighbor's aggression in the wider region at this time. of Kastelorizo.

The matter is now being referred back to the next Council, on 28 August, in Berlin, where the issue of sanctions may be discussed. However, this has been repeatedly requested, but there is a reluctance on the part of the EU.

Two meters and two weights
Instead, the German Foreign Minister, in his own tweets, openly sided with the opposition in Belarus, unequivocally condemning the "newly elected" (again, with 80% of the vote!), President Lukashenko.

It is obvious that Berlin is behaving using two meters and two weights. In the case of the Greek-Turks, he follows the tactic of equal distances, avoiding condemning Turkey, while, on the contrary, in the case of Belarus, which he considers a zone of close interests, he takes an open position.

The Council's agenda
It should be noted, as Armyvoice pointed out, that today's meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council did not have the Greek-Turkish issue as its only issue, as the Greek government implied when its competent officials said that the Council was convened extraordinarily after Greek request.

Greece Turkey: Serious episode with Cengiz Han…
Greece - Turkey: From Oruc Reis to negotiation
According to the official EU document, his topics were as follows: 1. Lebanon. 2.Venezuela. 3.Belarus. 4. Situation in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Dialogue now
In his second tweet, after the first one concerning Belarus, H. Maas wrote characteristically: "We also talked about the tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean between Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. Provocations must stop. "What we need is a political solution, which means direct dialogue between the parties involved."


On the contrary, he was adamant about Belarus. "As an EU, we want to significantly increase pressure on Belarus. "The outcome of the election must be reconsidered and those responsible for the mistreatment of peaceful protesters must be punished."

In the case of the Greek-Turks, of course, such an explicit and unequivocal statement is not even made. It is clear that the issue of Belarus was the one that preoccupied Berlin the most, which currently holds the EU presidency, and not the Greek-Turkish issue.

Foreign Ministry Council: Alliance reluctant
According to information, during the meeting held by teleconference, France, Austria, Ireland, Poland and Italy were in favor of the Greek positions.

The question arises: Apart from the five countries, and probably Cyprus, a total of seven together with Greece, the other 20 EU member states, including important countries such as Germany and Spain, what position did they take?

Much more, the Balkan countries, such as Bulgaria and Romania, which, in theory at least are close to Greece, and representatives especially of Bulgaria had come to Greece for contacts, what tactics did they follow? Did Greek diplomacy use the power of "persuasion" against them or was the field left open to Turkish moves?

Like I said it before in this thread, there is no ww3 coming soon, although the tension in Eastern Mediterranean sea will persist.
The turkeys, just like the pigs, have a very bad habbit: once they found out that it is enough to ask, in order to get, they will keep on asking. With the support from porka merkel, they will continue to ask for more, in the name of the VITAL SPACE CONCEPT. Where did we hear these words from, if not from Hitler? The circle of perverse friendships is closing again between the 2 countries over nearly a hundred years. The only solution I see is to smash the pigs face, otherwise, he will do it again.

Greece complains to NATO over Turkish submarines in Aegean

The Greek Foreign Ministry and the National Defense General Staff (GEETHA) last week submitted to NATO a detailed complaint regarding the presence of Turkish Navy submarines in Greek territorial waters during the month of September, along with provocative statements by Turkish officials disputing the borders between the two NATO allies, Kathimerini understands.

In its complaint, Greece notes that the Turkish submarines covered much of the Aegean in their movements, including Greek territorial waters close to the inhabited islands of Lemnos, Samothrace, Chios, Lesvos, Rhodes, Karpathos, Kastellorizo and the waters north of Crete.

Greek authorities reacted to the presence of the Turkish submarines by dispatching six Greek ships but vessels cannot be chased off in the same way as fighter jets are, sources said.

In its complaint, Greek authorities noted that the activity of the Turkish submarines in the Aegean came as officials in Ankara questioned the Treaty of Lausanne, the pact that defined the borders between Greece and modern Turkey following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Taken together, the presence of Turkish submarines in Greek territorial waters and the disputing of territorial borders point to an “escalation” of tensions and to possible “instability” in the region, Greek authorities said in their complaint.
