Biden's policy in our region is questionable

The policy that the new US administration intends to pursue in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Gulf is a question mark today.

The eight countries that work together at different levels, bilaterally or multilaterally, are trying to solve this puzzle separately and together. The approach to Washington, according to the new data, was the focus of a meeting of seven foreign ministers from the European Union and the Arab world in Athens. The policy of the new US government will be one of the topics that Cyprus and Israel will discuss tomorrow.

What emerges so much from what was discussed in Athens, in the context of the Friendship Tax, between the Foreign Ministers of Cyprus, Greece, France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, is the common assessment that there is “a big question mark about how the new US administration will approach the region.” The fact that Joe Biden has not spoken to any of the players in the area is an issue that reinforces the riddle of what the American approach will be. What everyone has pointed out is that the new US President has not yet spoken to the Prime Minister of Israel, a not so common practice.

The fact that the policy for the wider region that will be followed by the Biden government is a puzzle was something that the Foreign Ministers of Cyprus and Israel agreed during their recent telephone conversation.

At the Athens meeting, the seven foreign ministers made an analysis of the issues facing the region from the Mediterranean to the Gulf. They agreed to proceed with a common language and common messages in the direction of the Americans. All seven estimate that through this approach there will be greater opportunities to pass their messages to Washington. They also agreed that it was important for them to send the same messages to the United States regarding challenges and threats and what they expect them to do.

As far as Cyprus and Greece are concerned, it is estimated that the attitude of the Americans will play a role in the attitude of the European Union. As on regional issues, the EU is following in the footsteps of the Americans.

President Anastasiadis and Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulidis will discuss the situation in the region during their contacts tomorrow in Jerusalem. According to the Government Spokesman, during his contacts in Jerusalem, the PD will discuss issues related to developments in the Cyprus issue, bilateral relations and cooperation between Cyprus and Israel and the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Ankara is maturing

for the Friendship Forum

The duo Greece and Greece threaten peace and stability in the region, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry, reacting to the Friendship Forum, organized in Athens with the participation of seven Foreign Ministers of the Eastern Mediterranean. In a statement, the Turkish Foreign Minister said that “no forum in which the Turkish Cypriots do not participate and Turkey, which is a key country in the region, will be able to establish an effective and successful mechanism of cooperation and friendship.” .

“The baseless accusations and slanders against our country by the Greek Foreign Minister in the press conference at the end of the forum, which, as it was said, were not aimed at any country, in fact show that it was not a friendship initiative, as it was characterized, against Turkey “, he claims.

The Turkish Foreign Minister claims that “at a time when Turkey is trying to establish a sincere and comprehensive cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean with its proposal for an international conference, this attitude towards our country is hostile and undermines the EU's efforts for the Mediterranean.” .
