The next day after reaching an agreement in NATO, after the lifting of Turkey's “veto” on the accession of Finland and Sweden, opened the debate on the exchange secured by Tayyip Erdogan to change his position. The Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Nicosia, Michalis Kontos, analyzes in “F” what this agreement means. & Nbsp;
“First and foremost,” he said, “Turkey has secured the co-operation of Finland and Sweden in dealing with the Kurdish separatist forces, as well as their internal rivals, the Gulen movement.” It is very important e.g. The fact that the memorandum signed by the three countries refers to the creation of a legal framework for the extradition of wanted persons, especially since the characterization of the FETÖ organization as terrorist is not based on internationally accepted criteria. The only tangible and tangible gains are located at this point and should not be surprising because the structure of relationships and interests at the given time tended to this “exchange”. “

“From there on, it is clear that Mr Erdogan has sought to extend the scope of potential diplomatic gains over the past period to at least three areas: the issue of F-16 upgrades, the imminent new invasion of Syria and the issue of the sovereignty of the Aegean islands. Of these three areas, at this stage, I believe it is only possible to secure a strong statement of support from the US government on the F-16 issue. Of course, this will not mean the end of the journey, as the approval of the Congress will be pending, where Turkey is not treated with the same fervor. In this context, Greece and Cyprus are affected by any attempt by Sweden and Finland to promote Turkey's participation in the EU Structured Defense Cooperation (PESCO), which is included (with a careful choice of words) in the aforementioned memorandum. However, this issue cannot be resolved at the level of the NATO Summit, but will have to go through the concurrence of unanimity at EU level. “(Among other things) Turkey's cooperation on the issue of the repatriation of refugees from Syria, so this issue also works, I believe, more as a declaration of good intentions and not as an indicator of a real perspective,” he concludes.
