40 hours of crisis in the Aegean
Manage episode 431565242 series 2631806
Last week, for approximately 40 hours, tensions in the Aegean hit heights we had not seen in over a year and a half as Greek and Turkish ships faced off in an area south of the Greek islands of Kassos and Karpathos. Turkish warships had deployed just outside Greece’s territorial waters in an effort to prevent an Italian research vessel from carrying out research for the future deployment of underwater cables for the Great Sea Interconnector. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis to break down how this 40 hour crisis evolved and look at the broader message this incident sends about stability in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean.
