The cancellation of the Sunak-Mitsotakis meeting by the British Prime Minister is not only inappropriate, but also has other “readings”: Rishi Sunak decided to take this action a few days before the Mitsotakis-Erdogan meeting in Athens.
Just five days ago, the UK and Turkey concluded a defense agreement that directly contradicts the national security of Greece, and at the same time, negotiations are underway between London and Ankara about the possible sale of used Eurofighters to Turkey, while even the US does not want to sell F- fighters to Turkey. 16 Vipers.
Of course, this could happen in any case, since Turkey is an extremely important ally for the United States, so Americans constantly tolerate Ankara’s extremely offensive behavior in almost any situation.
The US is outraged by the choice of Rishi Sunak as David Cameron’s new secretary of state, whom former President Barack Obama called “crazy” when he told him of his intentions for a referendum on whether Britain should remain in EU. It should also be added that Cameron has always been… pro-Turkish.
Recall that the former British Prime Minister crossed the line at the EU summit in 2014 when he asked the provocative question: “Does Cyprus have an EEZ before the Cyprus problem is resolved?”, clearly questioning the existence of a Cyprus EEZ in full agreement with Ankara. Then he received a response from former German Chancellor Angela Merkel: “If all states have an EEZ, then why shouldn’t Cyprus have one.”
All this means that Rishi Sunak has decided to side with Turkey. The British are very annoyed by the constant presence of the French, Israelis and Americans in Cyprus, which they consider “their island,” so there is no better ally for their interests than Turkey itself.
Therefore, Rishi Sunak canceled his meeting with Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as he knew that the topic of discussion would not only be the Parthenon Marbles, but also Britain’s improved relations with Turkey.
Choosing a truly disapproving position (popularly called “rude”), the British Prime Minister thought it would be easier not to meet with the Greek Prime Minister at all.
Of course, this also shows how highly he values Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the Greek government, and Athens should understand this immediately.
