НАТО занялось разрядкой напряженности между Грецией и Турцией

В связи с сохранением напряженности в Эгейском море между Грецией и Турцией из-за прав на разведку нефти и газа НАТО в четверг объявила о новой инициативе, направленной на разрядку военного противостояния между двумя странами. И Греция, и Турция являются давними членами НАТО, и в прошлом альянс играл посредническую роль между двумя странами.

В заявлении генерального секретаря НАТО Йенса Столтенберга, опубликованном в четверг вечером (3 сентября), говорится:

"После моих обсуждений с лидерами Греции и Турции два союзника согласились вступить в технические переговоры в НАТО, чтобы создать механизмы военного разрешения конфликтов, чтобы снизить риски инцидентов и столкновений в Восточном Средиземноморье. Греция и Турция - уважаемые союзники, а НАТО - важная платформа для консультаций по всем вопросам, которые влияют на нашу общую безопасность. Я остаюсь в тесном контакте со всеми заинтересованными союзниками, чтобы найти решение напряженности в духе солидарности НАТО''.

Анкара положительно отреагировала на это заявление, но Афины отреагировали более прохладно, заявив, что прежде, чем начнутся какие-либо обсуждения, необходимо "вывести турецкие военно-морские силы из греческих вод".

Military parade to be held in Beijing as China and Russia reaffirm close ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
