: Ναι, η Τουρκία είναι κυρίως η χώρα που παράγει εντάσεις και προκαλεί αστάθεια στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο αλλά τόσο η Ελλάδα όσο και η Κύπρος απώλεσαν σειρά ευκαιριών να θωρακίσουν τα συμφέροντα τους
This is huge (while totally expected). Some kind of oriental rapprochement between Assad & Erdogan wouldn’t come as a surprise. Sometimes it looks like #Russia is playing chess with itself.

• respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and withdraw Turkish forces;
• satisfy terms of 2018 Sochi agreement on Idlib. https://sana.sy/?p=1088472

observed a minute of silence in memory of the 176 people killed when their plane was shot down in Iran last week. Our thoughts are with their families and friends. There must be a full and transparent investigation to ensure justice.

Ένα σύντομο σχόλιο για την παρουσία Μητσοτάκη στο Atlantic Council, την αχρείαστη ένταση με το Ιράν και την αυτοαποθέωση της πολιτικής ηγεσίας μας https://bit.ly/30rD9T3
Days after the Erdogan-Putin summit, Sarraj and Haftar seem to have a agreed a ceasefire. Turkish troop deployment and agreement with Russia a game changer.
This is significant. Germany will pay the cookies and the coffee of an already done deal by Putin and Erdogan. A real triumph of EU diplomacy #Libya

Germany will hold #Libya Conference by end of January, likely date Sunday 19. January. Ahead diplomacy intensifies. Merkel visited Putin Saturday. Erdogan due to attend Berlin Conference.
#Russia and #Turkey won big in #Libya. The irrelevance of the #EU is more than obvious. We are talking about Enlargement while we can’t even meet minimum expectations on our neighborhood. We failed and our adversaries are aware of our incompetence. The worse is yet to come.
on the nuclear agreement with #Iran: We call on Iran to take back all measures contrary to the agreement and to return to full compliance. #JCPOA

The embassies of France, Germany, Italy, UK, US, and EU join UNSMIL in welcoming the acceptance by parties in #Libya of a ceasefire on January 12 and announcement that both the GNA and LNA will halt military operations. Full statement:
Προς ΜΜΕ που αναπαράγουν συνεχώς, με αφορμή την κρίση στο Ιράν, ότι "η Ελλάδα είχε παραδοσιακά καλές σχέσεις με τον αραβικό κόσμο": το Ιράν ΔΕΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ αραβική χώρα (κι ας είχαμε καλή σχέση).
For the first time ever, $1 will buy you 1000 Syrian Lira in Damascus. Before the start of the uprising & civil war, $1 = 50 Lira. Most recent lira collapse is linked to a $ shortage in Lebanon.
The Lira is expected to continue collapsing as the Caesar Bill sanctions take effect.
in Cairo today.
The situation in #Libya was at the core of our discussion. The Berlin process is the only way forward.
Dialogue and negotiations are needed more than ever.

Wondering if POTUS realizes how insulting it is for his own country to present US defense forces as highly skilled mercenaries with a price tag.

He sells troops.
“We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia—I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1B in the bank.”
European judges protesting on the streets of Warsaw. This is the result of years of soul-searching. They were reluctant to speak out, but inadequate response of European Commission and Member States over years has left them with little choice. Europe has a rule-of-law emergency.
