I don't think the US really intends to fight Turkey because there are US soldiers operating on Turkish soil already as part of the American base. You still factor into NATO defense calculations, believe it or not.

And if you really want a deterrent, no air force superiority or anything of the sort will save you. You need nuclear weapons for that.

US and western allies are attempting to violate Mavi Vatan through any means posdible even NGO organizations.

Using NGO are just another platform for espionage activities and they do it out in the open. NGO IT specialists from EU were giving PKK members operational security seminar in Turkey few years back. They got arrested, maybe even the security forces wanted to happen to be able to arrest them. But they were let go after diplomatic pressure. It has become a playground for them and best response is organizing in EU.

'Greece violating int'l law, acting aggressively to negatively affect region'​

Greece refusing to carry out the necessities of good neighborly relations through provocative acts and statements, as well as its violations of international law, negatively affect stability and peace in the region, Turkey’s National Security Council said on Thursday.

In a written statement, the council said: “Powers that encourage Greece to take further steps and support its stance in violation of international law and good neighborly relations are invited to take a position toward peace and justice through leaving aside these approaches that could endanger the peace of the region.”

The statements by the National Security Council come after tensions have recently increased once again between the two Mediterranean countries.

The Turkish foreign ministry on Sunday said that Greece is not able to stomach the crucial role Turkey plays in its region and its immediate surroundings in the context of ensuring peace and stability.

Greece has often been embroiled in tensions with neighboring Turkey over a range of issues, from competing claims over hydrocarbon resources in the Aegean Sea to the demilitarization of islands. Moreover, Greece's burgeoning arms program is designed to counter the protection of Turkish interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Turkey maintains that it has been unfairly excluded from access to Mediterranean mineral resources and denies that it helped migrants gather at the Greek border last year.

Greece and Turkey resumed high-level diplomatic talks in January for the first time in nearly five years to try and ease tension over long-standing boundary disputes in the Aegean Sea and Eastern Mediterranean. But they remain sharply at odds, and Greece has launched a multibillion-dollar military modernization program with large naval and air force orders from France and the United States.

The Greek parliament in October ratified a defense deal struck with France for the purchase of three French-made Belharra frigates, an agreement criticized by Turkey.

In September, Greece also announced that it was planning to buy another six Rafale fighter aircraft as tensions continue to flare with Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The announcement of boosting military ties with France comes after Defense Minister Hulusi Akar stated recently that secondhand French Rafale jets will not change the power balance in the region.

While seeking to defend its fair share of maritime territory in the region, Ankara has decried recent provocative Greek moves such as violating treaties and pacts by issuing navigational alerts, militarizing islands in the Aegean Sea and illegally encroaching on Turkey's continental shelf.

Turkey, which has the longest continental coastline in the Eastern Mediterranean, has rejected the maritime boundary claims of Greece and the Greek Cypriot administration, stressing that these excessive claims violate the sovereign rights of both Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots.

Ankara has, however, repeatedly stressed that it is in favor of resolving all outstanding problems in the region, including maritime disputes, through international law, good neighborly relations, dialogue and negotiations.

'Greece violating int'l law, acting aggressively to negatively affect region'​

BY DAILY SABAH​

1-Which part of the international law?
Greece possesses ipso facto and ab initio sovereign rights and jurisdiction in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean in accordance with the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which reflects customary international law, and its national legislation.
This position has been registered on numerous occasions with the United Nations (indicatively: note verbale dated 24.2.2005, see Law of the Sea Bulletin, vol. 57, p. 129; note verbale dated No. 974/8.5.2012, see Law of the Sea Bulletin, vol. 79, p. 14; note verbale No. 389/20.2.2013, see Law of the Sea Bulletin, vol. 81, p. 23; and letters from the Permanent Representative of Greece dated 23 May 2016 (A/70/900-S/2016/474); 25 April 2019 (A/73/850-S/2019/344); 19 March 2020 (A/74/758); and 20 April 2020 (A/74/819)), and has also been communicated bilaterally to Turkey (notes verbales No. 187/AS 2207/24.7.2009, No. 187/AS 2648/15.11.2011, No. 187/1066/30.4.2012, No. 156.3/1675/12.7.2012, and No. 2019/503.14/267/15.1.2019).

2-Turkey refused to come before the International Court, invoking its non-recognition of the Court’s jurisdiction. The Court did not examine the substance of the issue for reasons of formality, due to lack of competence.
Greece has declared its acceptance of the general mandatory jurisdiction of the International Court in The Hague, with the exceptions, which are specifically foreseen in the respective declaration , while, Greece has signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982).

3-Turkey is the only country that refers to and demands the demilitarization of the “islands in the Eastern Aegean”. Greece reiterates its position that it is fully justified in taking all elementary precautionary measures to ensure that it will be able to exercise its inalienable right to self-defence on the basis of Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular given the above-mentioned conduct of Turkey since 1974. The moto is: What is threatened is not demilitarized

4-Who's acting aggressively?

  • Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974, in violation of the Cyprus Treaty of Guarantee, to which Greece is a signatory state, and despite the numerous United Nations Security Council and General Assembly Resolutions to the contrary, still continues to maintain substantial military forces in the occupied territories.
  • Turkey systematically violates Greek Air Space, and its military aircraft, often armed, fly over inhabited Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, which raises serious security concerns.
  • Turkey over the past three decades, has maintained a significant number of military units, aircraft and landing craft at points on the coast of Asia Minor just across from the Greek islands, which is a serious threat against Greece.
  • Turkey has invaded and illegally occupies, apart from a part of Cyprus, also parts of Iraq and Syria, claiming that it has done so out of concerns for its security.
  • Turkey refuses to withdraw its military forces and mercenaries from Libya, defying relevant persistent calls by the entire international community, in the context of the latter’s endeavours for a peaceful solution to the Libyan crisis
