Is Turkey a Trojan horse inside NATO?

from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders

Turkey is putting up roadblocks within NATO that are raising questions about whether the alliance’s largest air exercise, which Greece is preparing to host for the first time, will move forward smoothly. The heart of the issue is the Athens flight information region (FIR), whose jurisdiction Turkey does not fully recognize. This is consistent with Turkey’s broader efforts to turn the Aegean into a disputed territory. Endy Zemenides, the Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council, joins Thanos Davelis to break down how Turkey’s latest actions put the alliance at risk, and should serve as a wake up call for NATO members.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:NATO air exercise in Greece faces roadblocks due to TurkeyTurkish aircraft violate Greek airspace over southeastern AegeanUAV a ‘permanent’ Aegean visitorNato must wake up to Russia’s nuclear power deal with TurkeyGreek Orthodox cemetery in Istanbul vandalizedSyria’s al-Assad says Turkey rapprochement efforts unsuccessful
