Turkey has warned that a growing military alignment between Greece, Cyprus and Israel poses a regional threat, with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan voicing concern over the partnership.
“It is an alliance that constitutes a source of concern not only for Turkey but also for other Muslim countries in the region, who mention it to us,” Fidan said, adding, “Turkey has the ability to protect itself.”
He also suggested Ankara had received no assurances about the alliance’s intent, stating, “no one reassured us about anything else, no one told us it is not against you.”
Fidan noted that while Greece is a NATO member, no other European country has taken similar steps with Israel, warning that “Greece may say one thing but may also be hiding others.”
