Polizisten und Panzer an Kosovos Grenzen - doch die «geopolitische EU» hat keine Idee für die Region

Greece 'forges' alliances with the countries of the Arabian Peninsula. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the strongest powers in the region and are linked by a common ground with Greece, which is Erdogan's provocative actions. After the UAE, Greece in a few words concludes agreements with Saudi Arabia. Many may react, because they will claim, and perhaps rightly so, that while Turkey is provoking, we are giving up critical weapons to third parties.
