Greece braces for possible tensions as Turkey sends the Oruc Reis back to the East Med

This week Turkey announced that its research ship, the Oruc Reis, is going to make a return to the Eastern Mediterranean to carry out exploratory research for natural gas and oil. Turkey didn’t specify the exact location, but the Oruc Reis was deployed in 2020 to conduct surveys in what Greece claims as its exclusive economic zone, leading to a summer of tensions. Greece and Cyprus are following developments closely, looking out for any moves that could cause tension in the region to spike even further. At the same time, Turkey has stepped up both its aggressive rhetoric and its illegal overflights in the Aegean in recent weeks, prompting concerns that Ankara is laying the groundwork for a potential crisis in the build up to elections next year. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis from Athens.

Searching for the remains of Greek soldiers who perished in the mountains of Albania

Earlier this week Greeks around the world celebrated “OXI Day” - the day 84 years ago that saw Greece reject the ultimatums of Italy’s Mussolini.
