Turkey’s dive into the Meditarranean upsets Greece

 Tensions have escalated between Greece and Turkey after Turkey entered the disputed waters in the eastern meditarranean region. On Tuesday, Turkey had sent a research vessel to carry out a seismic research for energy resources. The ship was looking for a potential scope of finding oil and gas deposits south of the Greek island of Kastellorizo.

Following this, Greece has planned to call out an emergency meeting of the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Council, as announced by the Prime Minister’s office. Prime Minister of Turkey, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias met to come to this conclusion of involving European Union in this matter.

Greece condemned the decision of Ankara to go ahead with the search prospect and considers it to be an illegal act that infringes its right as a sovereign country. Greek warships were in the area and were monitoring the Oruc Reis, and the military was on alert, officials said. Recep Tayyip Erdogan was called out by the EU to maintain the sovereignty of the neighbouring countries and be in control of its action.

Greece considered this an effort from the end of Turkey to prove its ambition to get hold of the wealth of the other countries. The Republic of Cyprus and Greece do not accept any such rights for Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus in the region and the self-styled Republic, defended by Erdogan, is not recognized internationally.

The two countries have been having a war of words from a long and not less than three times were at brink of a war. They had issues from a wide variety of things. Ankara’s response might have come from the deal that closed between Egypt and Greece which delineated their bilateral maritime boundaries and exclusive economic zones for rights to the exploitation of resources. In 2019, Turkey also had signed a similar deal with the Libyan government backed by the UN in Tripoli.

The Ankara Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, warned, “Turkey will continue to show them and the world that this agreement is null and void on the table and in the field.”

Strangely, a few days ago, Erdogan had asked for a dialogue with Greece to resolve the disputes regarding the usage of resources. This move completely contradicts his efforts. The matters went out of hand when Turkey announced its seismic research on the Greece waters so much so that German Chancellor Angela Merkel had to intervene but that hardly stopped Erdogan from doing what he wanted.

To date, after every warning and threat,Turkey still looks to obtain energy sources by encroaching the borders of other countries in Libya previously, and now Greece.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
