Dendias Warns of Turkish Threat to Greek Islands

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias warned of Turkey’s neo-Ottoman ambitions, citing their pursuit of regional resources and controversial geopolitical activities in the Aegean and Middle East. He expressed concern over potential claims on Greek islands and the destabilizing impact on NATO, particularly given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Dendias suggested that the US could play a role in urging Turkey to respect international law. He also highlighted the “Blue Homeland” military exercises as evidence of this concerning trend.
