It was learned that in Greece, which was worried after the developments, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias will visit Egypt.
Egypt's taking a step satisfying Turkey in the energy struggle in the Eastern Mediterranean had a great impact.
After Egypt announced a hydrocarbon tender in the Eastern Mediterranean, acting in accordance with Turkey continental shelf thesis, a question of "Is a new curtain opening in Turkey-Egypt relations?" came to mind.
A statement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on Wednesday, March 3, regarding the development that has resonated in the international arena. Giving the green light to the development of relations with Egypt, Çavuşoğlu said, “It is a positive step that Egypt respects our continental shelf. According to the course of our relations, we can also sign an agreement with Egypt by negotiating maritime jurisdictions”.
GREECE FRONT IN PANIC
It was seen that the Greek front was worried in the face of the signs showing that there might be rapprochement between Turkey and Egypt. While the news on the subject in the Greek press attracted attention, headlines such as "Cairo winking at Ankara" and "Egyptian spin" were used.
While the headlines in question reveal the impact of the developments between Turkey and Egypt on Greece, an important step came from the Greek government. According to the information obtained in this context, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias will soon visit Egypt's capital, Cairo. It is stated that the visit, which is thought to be made in order to further develop the relationship between Greece and Egypt and to confine Turkey to a narrow area in the Eastern Mediterranean, may take place next Monday.
