The United States will be assuming an active role in easing tensions created by Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean, particularly following its maritime borders and defense agreements with Libya’s Tripoli-based government, sources told Kathimerini in the wake of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday.
According to the sources, Mitsotakis managed to fully convey Athens’ concerns regarding Ankara’s recent moves and to explain the possible repercussions of any further challenges to Greece’s sovereign rights, especially over the Greek islands.
The Greek prime minister is also said to have urged Trump, given his close relationship with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to personally explain to the Turkish president what a further escalation of tension in the region could mean, stressing that Athens would be obliged to respond to any further moves from Ankara.
