Ο Aggelos Chorianopoulos έγραψε ότι η Ελλάδα σύντομα θα αντιμετώπιζε ταυτόχρονα, όπως υποστήριξε, την προσπάθεια της Τουρκίας να νομιμοποιήσει τη «Γαλάζια Πατρίδα», την παρουσία τουρκικού πολεμικού ναυτικού νότια της Κρήτης για την προστασία της Λιβύης, την παρεμπόδιση ερευνών για το GSI και τουρκικές NAVTEX που χαρακτήρισε παράνομες. Ως απάντηση, πρότεινε επέκταση των ελληνικών χωρικών υδάτων στα 12 ναυτικά μίλια και χρήση στρατιωτικής ισχύος για την προστασία των νόμιμων συμφερόντων της χώρας. Πρόσθεσε ότι, αν η Τουρκία οδηγούσε την κατάσταση στα άκρα, η Ελλάδα θα έπρεπε να εκπληρώσει το ιστορικό της καθήκον, το οποίο, κατά τον ίδιο, δεν είχε εκπληρώσει στην Κύπρο το 1974 και στα Ίμια το 1996. Ο Chorianopoulos υποστήριξε ακόμη ότι η διεθνής κοινότητα του δυτικού κόσμου θα στήριζε την Ελλάδα, την οποία φαντάστηκε νικήτρια στο πεδίο. Εκτίμησε επίσης ότι η Ευρώπη είχε δώσει το πράσινο φως για άμεση επέκταση των χωρικών υδάτων στα 12 ναυτικά μίλια σε όλη την περιοχή της Κρήτης. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΝαυτικήΔύναμη

Aggelos Chorianopoulos wrote that the parliament of Eastern Libya approved what it characterized as the illegal Turkey-Libya memorandum on maritime zones. He mentioned that two Libyan MPs confirmed the approval to Reuters and that the parliament had rejected the agreement since 2020. He linked the development to Libya's note verbale, which protested against seismic surveys south of Crete, and to related reports by Mr. Meleti. He also wrote that the Greek Foreign Ministry had missed an opportunity a few years ago when the US and Russia promoted as a key solution the son of Haftar, whom he referred to as the "new Gaddafi." According to him, he had asked to visit Athens to receive diplomatic support but was not heeded; later, he traveled to Istanbul and Ankara and then to Athens. Chorianopoulos argued that the opportunity had been given by Haftar himself. He added that some chose to rely on international law rather than the Armed Forces and the state. He predicted an agreement with Turkey for the protection of Libyan territorial waters from the Turkish Navy and called for the extension of Greek territorial waters to 12 nautical miles without exceptions. He also wrote that if the Libyan navy attempted to provoke tension, it would have the 12 Zodiac boats, which he mentioned had been provided by a Greek company. #Λιβύη #Τουρκία #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο (translated)

Alexander Itimoudis argued that Greece had entered a period of reorganization of its military machine due to the increased threat from Turkey. He linked the effort to rationalize tax collection with the need to fund the development of the Greek defense industry. According to him, Turkey had a larger military industry and continued to invest in it, even at the expense of its citizens' living standards. He mentioned that the external debt of the two countries was 590 billion and 564 billion respectively, but that Turkey's debt corresponded to a smaller percentage of GDP due to its larger economy. He added that a country must be able to mobilize resources, borrow, and produce military material to respond to a potential conflict. Itimoudis stated that since Greece was still not competing with Turkey in numbers, it was investing in qualitative force multipliers. These included the Air Force and Navy, satellite data, and system interoperability through the "Achilles Shield," digitization in Belhara frigates and F-35s, exercises with Israel and Egypt, as well as cooperation in the field of intelligence with Israel and the acquisition of systems such as Spike NLOS and Spice. He also emphasized that, in his opinion, a country should be able to transfer expertise between the political sector and the military industry. He argued that Greece remained trapped in small businesses that were not innovative and in economic activities such as catering and tourism, which he deemed inadequate for resource mobilization in the event of a conflict. According to Itimoudis, Greece's actions since 2019 aimed to address the growing power disparity with Turkey. He said that rapid structural changes were required but faced intransigence both within and outside the state, and he urged readers to calmly confront what they heard and read, arguing that it did not reflect the actual situation. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΠολεμικήΒιομηχανία (translated)
