In a recent interview, former Greek Minister Angelos Syrigos discussed the implications of the meeting between Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis and Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan. Syrigos asserted that proposed joint exploitation of the Aegean could undermine Greece’s sovereign rights amid territorial disputes. He emphasized that such cooperation is complicated by Turkey’s claims on Greek territories. Furthermore, Syrigos noted that Turkey’s linking of unrelated issues tends to halt constructive dialogue, reaffirming that Greece remains committed to a policy of calm despite recent airspace violations by Turkey.
