Listen "Turkey escalates tensions as Greece and Cyprus look to link their grids"
Episode Synopsis
Earlier this month we saw a mini crisis break out in the southern Aegean as Turkey deployed four frigates near the Greek islands of Kasos and Karpathos thinking that an Italian ship - which had been at the center of a 40-hour crisis last July - was in the area conducting research for the future deployment of underwater cables linking Greece and Cyprus. While this was ultimately a misunderstanding, it raises questions about relations between Greece and Turkey and the future of vital projects like the Great Sea Interconnector. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey deploys warships over misunderstandingAnkara irked by European maritime mapΤο κόστος των καθυστερήσεων για τη διασύνδεση Ελλάδας – ΚύπρουFamellos elected SYRIZA leaderAncient meets modern as a new subway in Greece showcases archaeological treasures
