US military exercises with Greece are adding unwarranted stress to the US-Turkey relationship Opinion | ALICINAR
Last October, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo went to Greece to sign a Defense Cooperation Agreement. The agreement stipulates increased military use of Greek military bases and facilities in Larissa, Stefanovikio, and Alexandroupolis with the US and NATO.
As much as it may appear that the US and Turkey are beginning a new phase on Libya, other actors in the region are doing everything in their power to prevent Turkish-American cooperation in Libya.announcement, the Pentagon has activated the use of military bases and facilities in Alexandroupolis, which is just 30 kilometres from Turkish borders.
In addition, the Byzantine and Greek flags were raised on the Greek trailer ship accompanying the transport ship. When some Turkish media reported that the American ship had raised Byzantine and Greek flags, all eyes immediately turned to Alexandroupolis. Ambassador Pyatt stated that “the Greek Islands are entitled to continental shelves and exclusive economic zone rights, as in the mainland,” calling Turkey to “stop the operations which increase tension in the region.” Though he made this call, we still don’t know what factors he based this statement on. I believe that soon we will see clearer steps.
Having significant tensions with Turkey in recent years, the US administration is strengthening its political, economic, and military cooperation with Greece.
