  • Jimmy Rushton
    Jimmy Rushton “Shoigu's replacement with a (relatively experienced and apparently competent) economist [Andrei Belousov] pretty clearly signals Putin believes victory in Ukraine will come via outproducing (and outlasting) Ukraine and her Western allies. He's preparing for many more years of war.” 4 hours ago
  • Konstantin Sonin
    Konstantin Sonin “Things are not going according to Putin's plan, but he will endlessly rotate the same small group of loyalists. Putin has always feared to bring new people to the positions of authority - even in the best of times, they must have been nobodies with no own perspectives. Toward the end of his rule, even more so.” 4 hours ago
  • Mark Galeotti
    Mark Galeotti “With an economist taking over the Defence Ministry, and the old minister taking up a policy and advisory role, the technocrats are in the ascendant. The goal though is not peace, but a more efficient war. As Putin digs in for the long term, with the 'special military operation' now being the central organising principle of his regime, he knows he needs technocrats to keep his war machine going.” 4 hours ago
  • Jeff Hawn
    Jeff Hawn “This indicates that the Kremlin is not seeking an exit from Ukraine, but once to extend their ability to endure the conflict as long as possible. Russia is very limited [on] how much they can increase scale, due to economic deficiencies. However, they can maintain a certain level of attritional warfare. And are likely hoping to do that longer than Ukraine can.” 4 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “Today, the winner on the battlefield is the one who is more open to innovation, more open to implementation as quickly as possible. It is natural that at the current stage the president [Vladimir Putin] decided that the Ministry of Defence should be headed by a civilian [Andrei Belousov].” 4 hours ago

“There is no issue between us that is unsolvable. So long as we focus on the big picture and don't end up being like those who cross the sea and drown in the river. We want to turn the Aegean into a sea of peace. Through the joint steps we will take as Turkey and Greece, we want to be an example to the world.”

“Southern European countries, like Italy and Greece, are concerned about the ramifications of a wider regional war involving Iran that could create a massive refugee crisis. American and European leaders are firm supporters of the Abraham Accords normalising relations between Israel and some Arab countries. The current war in Gaza jeopardises the ongoing peace process in the Middle East at a time when the West needs to confront Russia in Ukraine and deter China over Taiwan.”

“Any extension by Greece of its territorial waters beyond the present six [nautical] miles in the Aegean would have serious implications for Turkey. As such, any decision by Greece in that direction cannot be taken in a vacuum, as if Turkey does not exist.”

“You have a revisionist neighbour who's invaded every adjacent state. It's sat in Cyprus for 48 years. It's illegally invaded Syria and Iraq. I don't think Turkey's record suggests we can drop all concern that it can do the same [in the Aegean] if it thinks it can get away with it.”

“Greece is a precious neighbor, a historical and stable friend, an important partner of Albania on the path to democracy, progress and European integration. The cooperation between our two countries is strategic and we are determined for it to continue to be strengthened in the spirit of good neighborhoodness, for the benefit of our common interests, close partnership in NATO and a common European perspective. Albania is grateful to Greece for the great, clear and determined support of the European integration process, the opening of negotiations and we are convinced that we have this support for holding the first Intergovernmental Roundtable during the Slovenian Presidency, within December 2021. Countries connect the two strong bridges of friendship: the Greek minority in Albania, which enjoys all the rights enjoyed by Albanian citizens and the community of Albanian emigrants in Greece, which constitute the largest community of foreigners and for thirty years contribute for their families, for the economies and welfare systems of both countries.”

“Immigrant pressures are on the rise, and that is why the Taliban are regaining control of Afghanistan. The risk for us inevitably increases. We must also work with the EU to make a more serious commitment to Frontex and to draw up an EU operational action plan in the event of increased migratory pressures at the EU's external borders, namely Bulgaria and Greece, and, of course, an ongoing dialogue with Turkey.”

“We are mobilising one of Europe's biggest ever common firefighting operations as multiple fires affect several countries simultaneously. This shows the need to prioritise crisis response also at European level. The EU stands in full solidarity with Greece, North Macedonia, Albania, Italy and Turkey, at this difficult time. I am very thankful to all the countries who have offered help for their tangible solidarity. Our thoughts are with all those affected and with the first responders who are risking their lives to battle the fires.”

“The 'Blue Corridor', or the Adriatic-Ionian Corridor, traverses the entire Western Balkans which is washed by the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea, starting from Croatia to Greece. Albania has an important part of this corridor, so we started working last year, but due to the pandemic and financial problems created by the pandemic, this project was stopped for the time being, to continue very soon this year. Immediately in the fall we will once again start the race for the construction of the 'Blue Corridor', which will start from the entry point connecting Albania and Montenegro, from Murriqani and to the exit point connecting Albania with Greece, in Kakavija.”

“Our attitude towards sanctions is well known. To begin with, it is an illegal tool. Secondly, it is a tool that runs counter to the very interests of the European Union. I believe that many European countries are beginning to realize that. Greece is probably among those [countries] that have shown sufficient skepticism as far as the effectiveness of these sanctions is concerned. Nevertheless, we must proceed from the fact that it is both a member of the [NATO] alliance and a member of the European Union, and in this sense it implements the decisions made in Brussels. This is a reality, but we should not view this reality as an obstacle to developing relations with Greece in those areas where we understand that these relations are in the interests of our countries and our peoples. What worries us is that the European Union recently started to make persistent efforts to create the so-called horizontal sanctions mechanisms - chemical, on human rights, on hybrid [threats], on cybersecurity. That means that EU legislation will provide for the possibility of making prompt decisions regarding specific individuals affected by these sanctions. These can be individuals, institutions, companies and businesspeople. This is a very slippery slope that leads nowhere. However, it creates colossal uncertainty in relations between us and Europeans.”

“Germany has worked hard to facilitate a dialogue between the European Union and Turkey over the past months. But there have been too many provocations, and tensions between Turkey, Cyprus and Greece have prevented any direct talks. For this reason, we will talk about what consequences we should draw – also with a view to the EU summit this week.”

“Oruc Reis vessel, after a month-long maintenance and repair operations, has today resumed its seismic survey activity from where it left off. The activity, which will last until October 22, 2020 is entirely within the Turkish continental shelf. The survey area is at 15 kilometers distance to the nearest point in Turkey and 425 kilometers away from the Greek mainland. The claims of Greece that the island of Kastellorizo can create a maritime area of 40 thousand square kilometers are compatible neither with international law nor with international court decisions. In fact, the Greek side is also well aware that these are maximalist demands. Our expectation from Greece is to denounce its maximalist claims embodied in the Sevilla Map, which are contrary to international law, to end its escalatory exercises and military activities in the Aegean and the Mediterranean and to enter into sincere dialogue with us, especially through the Exploratory Talks.”

“The U.S. also believes deeply that development of the Eastern Mediterranean should promote cooperation and provide a foundation for the durable energy security and economic prosperity of the entire region. We strongly support dialogue between NATO allies Greece and Turkey and encourage them to resume discussion of these issues as soon as possible. I spoke with Secretary-General Stoltenberg just two days ago on the progress being made at NATO, and we hope that these talks can continue in a serious way.”

“Our exercises [in the Eastern Mediterranean] are conducted within the framework of NATO regulations. Greece has made it clear that it is not in favor of dialogue by rejecting the recent [reconciliation] initiatives. We are in favor of sitting at the table because we have confidence in ourselves, but Greece does not seem to accept this approach.”

“Following my discussions with Greek and Turkish leaders, the two Allies have agreed to enter into technical talks at NATO to establish mechanisms for military de-confliction to reduce the risk of incidents and accidents in the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece and Turkey are valued Allies, and NATO is an important platform for consultations on all issues that affect our shared security. I remain in close touch with all concerned Allies to find a solution to the tensions in the spirit of NATO solidarity.”

“It is hypocritical for the European Union to call for dialogue and, simultaneously, make other plans regarding Turkey's activities within our continental shelf in the Eastern Mediterranean. We are proficient in the language of peace and diplomacy, but do not hesitate to do the necessary thing when it comes to defending Turkey's rights and interests. France and Greece know that better than anyone.”
