Turkey's nuclear ambitions - A threat to regional security?

According to a recent Kathimerini report, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias raised the issue of Turkey’s nuclear ambitions during a call last month with Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Dendias highlighted a nuclear energy plant Turkey is building on its southern coast, the potential risks it poses to other countries in the region, Ankara’s unwillingness to share details about the project, and the role that Russia is playing in the process.
