1. "The Egyptian-Greek Exclusive Economic Zone (#EEZ) deal is important because it settles, at least partly, an issue that has been open for decades in the area and completes another small [piece of the] puzzle in the maritime zone disputes of the #EasternMediterranean"
2. #Turkey's actions aim to“to deconstruct the existing regional status quo & security architecture & bring about a new one that will be more beneficial to itself, in terms of the geopolitical space, the natural resources and the maritime routes that it will be able to control.”
Today is a dark day in human history.
Some describe the 46 year occupation of #Cyprus as a “Frozen Conflict” but that is neither an accurate nor an honest description.
Cyprus’ occupation is an ongoing crime, a crime in which too many have served as accomplices of #Turkey.

💬🇬🇷PM @kmitsotakis & his government have done an excellent job in defending their border & not succumbing to Turkish pressure. 🇪🇺must reinforce their efforts through financial support, equipment, border guards & political support, said @TonoEPP at @MartensCentre #OnlineEvent
💬Turkey’s security concerns are not an excuse for 🇹🇷 behaviour in the #EasternMediterranean, its human rights abuses, incursions into 🇬🇷airspace or illegal drilling in 🇨🇾 waters are unacceptable, said @TonoEPP
💬 The Greek external border is the EU's external border and it is Europe's common duty to protect it, said @TonoEPP at the @MartensCentre #OnlineEvent
