Greece and Cyprus Caught Between the Strategic Interests of NATO and the EU
Published
An Italian analysis, published in In.gr, examines the position of Greece and Cyprus in the current geopolitical situation of the Eastern Mediterranean. According to the text, the two countries find themselves in a difficult position, as they must reconcile the strategic interests of NATO and the European Union with their relations with Turkey.
The analysis recalls the role Turkey played during the Cold War. As stated, "from the beginning to the end of the Cold War, Turkey was NATO's most reliable ally and Israel's most valuable friend." This historical reference helps us understand why the country is considered important for the West.
According to the same text, the geographical position of Greece and Cyprus makes the two countries critical for the security of the region. For this reason, their alliances and their relations with their neighbours are of direct importance. The analysis presents the situation as a balance between different policy demands.
The article is brief and relies mainly on the headline and a short summary of the text. For a fuller picture of the arguments and evidence in the analysis, the complete readable edition is needed.
