Episode Synopsis

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne, a treaty that defined the borders of modern Turkey, and is a key point of reference in Greece’s relations with Turkey. Over the last years Turkey has taken a number of steps that not only raise questions about the treaty, but also attempt to question Greek sovereignty. Despite Erdogan’s attempt at a rebrand following his reelection, there hasn’t been a change in substance when it comes to Turkish revisionism. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis to look at why Lausanne matters today, particularly in the context of Greek-Turkish relations.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:«100 Years since the Treaty of Lausanne: Looking Back, Looking Ahead»Mitsotakis: No illusions about TurkeyGreece’s new interlocutors in TurkeyErdogan criticizes Greece’s armaments program, plans to raise concerns with AthensAt least 79 migrants dead and dozens feared missing after fishing vessel sinks off GreeceTurkey won't back Swedish NATO bid unless it stops anti-Turkish protestsTurkey’s Erdogan defies pressure over Sweden’s NATO application
