Even the foreign press have reported about the new Turkish challenges in Evros, which have been left unanswered by Athens.
Turkish forces appear to have been advancing for days now, on Greek soil in southern Evros, at the Apiculture site, which is located at a point that floods every year after autumn and, according to 1923 maps, belongs to Greece. This is an area that the Turks want to “gray up” due to a weather phenomenon.
In recent weeks, 35 members of the Turkish military and special forces police have been there. In fact, they have encamped and raised a Turkish flag.
The answer from Athens.
The Greek Foreign Ministry has taken a step forward in Turkey on this issue.
According to diplomatic sources, a step has been taken towards the Turkish side regarding the issue that has arisen in a part of southern Evros on the occasion of the change of the riverbed and following an order from Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias.
It is noted that initially and when asked about the issue, the Foreign Minister noted that “I wish we could go to an agreement. There is a question of the exact limit, due to the changes in the riverbed. I told you this indirectly in the beginning, you did not notice it correctly, I also said it in a way. I do not like to create tensions between two countries that are allies. These things are solved without a single column being written in a newspaper. The appropriate measurements can be made well and, with a joint committee, all these things can be resolved. We are talking about a few tens of meters “, concluded Mr. Dendias.
