For the cancellation of a meeting with the Turkish president, it is clarified that “there was a real reason” and that in such events leaders’ programs are common to change. “And with Georgia Meloni, a meeting was canceled for the same reason,” they say.
It is also clarified that “there was no meeting with Tayyip Erdogan at the US president’s reception.”
The Greek side does not give a great chance to the possibility of Turkish feasibility
In relation to the United States, it is noted that “there is good communication with Donald Trump and we will not be too late to say again”. For the meeting with Mrs Gilfil, the same information says that “it was an acquaintance meeting and seemed to be well aware of the issues of the area”.

The prime minister reportedly told the UN Secretary -General that technical discussions on EEZ and continental shelf was launched with Libya, a RES EIA was reported.
“We are doomed by geography to discuss with Libya, we have any coasts. Turkey has no reason in this debate, “reports from the Greek side say.
Regarding the opposition criticism of the cancellation of the meeting with the Turkish president, the same information says that “and in times when Erdogan refused to discuss with us, we insisted on open channels of communication. This does not mean any retreat from our sovereign rights. ” At the same time, the “active policy on the field” is underlined, such as “Marine Parks and Greek Spatial Planning” as well as “Chevron’s confirmed interest”.
Athens is seeking open communication channels and does not seem to be worried about Turkey’s possible participation in the F-35 program, in which Greece has already been introduced.
Information from the Greek side says that “in 2019 Turkey had ordered 100 F-35. We didn’t even have an upgraded F-16, we were not in the F-35 schedule, nor had we bought the rafale. Today we have 42 upgraded F-16s in a Viper version (from the 82 we will have with the completion of the program within the next two years), 24 Rafale and we are in the F-35 program. “
“We strengthen and shield the Armed Forces to have a significant qualitative advantage. We are not heaved. What needs to be done for the security of the country is being done, ”reports from the Greek side.
