The third is not superfluous?

so far neither the European Union, which includes only one of the parties to the conflict, neither the Alliance nor the private capital, the EU could defuse the situation in the region. According to some, to influence the situation tried and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but in vain. According to Macron, Paris is concerned about the decision of the Turkish side to start seismic surveys (essentially intelligence work) near the Eastern Greek island of Kastelorizo, which lies only a few kilometers from the Turkish coast. To support its research vessel Oruc Reis Turkey sent nearly two dozen warships and air force fighter jets. In response Greece has led its fleet into a state of full combat readiness.

last week, Greek media reported on the extremely dangerous incident between the Turkish frigate Kemalreis and Greek Linmnos who allegedly “touched each other” while maneuvering on a narrow site in the Eastern Mediterranean. However, the General staff of national defense of Greece stated that it did not know anything about a ship collision. Greece also rejected the accusations in the shelling of a Turkish boat in the Aegean sea. “Let all know that the risk of an incident is preserved, when such a large number of troops concentrated in a limited area. And liability in this case will be borne by the originator of the creation of such conditions”, – TASS quoted the Greek Prime Minister of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who made a televised address.

it is Not surprising that rocky islet Castellorizon, which is visible from the Turkish shore, but to the Greek mainland, almost 600 miles, was a stumbling block in the debate about the limits of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone between Athens and Ankara. The Turkish foreign Ministry called “irrational” argument of the Greek side that “small plot of land with an area of ten squares may form a sea zone with an area of 40 thousand square kilometers.” By the way, in retrospect this island was also a sore point in Greek-Turkish relations: in the early nineteenth century, its inhabitants participated in the liberation war of Greece against the Ottoman Empire, and even, according to some, sank two Turkish ships in the Bay of modern Antalya. Recall that the wealth of the subsoil of the Mediterranean claimed by several States., who can not agree. The majority of participants interested in the topic of oil and gas “pie”, tried to hold a “watershed” in the region in their economic interests. Another thing is that these mechanisms do not extinguish the smoldering conflicts. Thus, in Cyprus, whose offshore in 2011 opened the field “Aphrodite” are the agreements with Lebanon, Egypt and Israel. Only that Turkey does not recognize them, demanding to take into account “the interests of the community round��about Cypriots” in the occupied part of the island.
