🔸 "The EU is aware of the announcements made in Varosia. The EU continues to monitor developments regarding President Erdogan's ongoing visit. The EU reiterates the importance of the Varosha regime and calls for full respect for UN Security Council resolutions, in particular Resolutions 550, 789 and 1251. The EU's position on the Cyprus issue is clear and confirmed by EU leaders recently at the June Summit"

/GBG/🟢 The EU and UN showed absolutely no reaction to what has been done, once again exposing how spineless and useless they are. Turkey and Erdogan know that, which is why everything is done without the least repercussion since the EU not only fears any sort of armed conflict with a country but also because the EU is afraid of Erdogan's ties with terrorist organizations and his influence over mass immigration

🔸 "In simple terms, Erdogan is not a friend of the United States. I look forward to working with Minister Blinken to explore new steps that the Biden administration can take to ensure that President Erdogan faces additional consequences for violating international law and for his outspoken determination to steal Cypriots of their fate. As the US, we must remain firm in our commitment to help end the tragic division of this island nation" Menendez said

🔴 Delusion by a Turkish admiral: "Greece will lose sovereignty over the 21 islands it has militarized"

🔸 "Greece may lose its sovereignty over the islands it has equipped. We must raise this issue frequently with the United Nations and NATO" Erenoglu said, calling Turkey's recent letter to the Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, "delayed", with which he accused Greece of continuous blatant violations "in the Aegean and the Mediterranean"

/GBG/🟢 This of course is yet another ridiculous interpretation made by Turks once the treaties cited do predict and allow some military force to be present as long as there are no big fortifications (Lausanne Art. 13) and Turkey is also not part of the Paris Peace Treaty which is Res Inter Alios Acta, which means that only members can invoke or do anything with it and there are also no violations to it, Turkey's disagreement or protests regarding something on the treaty is irrelevant

🔴 The Greek Foreign Minister had sent a letter to his French counterpart talking about "a significant setback, towards which a solid response of the International Community is required". The French FM said France will Raise the issue at UN Level (which means nothing)

🔴 Reports and images now confirm that a fleet of Turkish fishing boats have been illegally fishing inside Greek EEZ, very close to Agathonisi nd even further west after reaching the coasts of Kythira and Antikythira

🔸 Another revealing photo shows Turkish fishing boats fishing in the center of the Cyclades next to Serifos undisturbed. In an area hundreds of nautical miles from the Turkish coast. While they reached even further in Kythera and Antikythira between the Peloponnese and Crete and according to the testimonies, they approached a few meters from the shores
🔸 The particularly worrying phenomenon started several weeks ago with talks about "transit" fishing boats that passed through the Aegean in a southwesterly direction to the Libyan Sea. However, as the days go by, the Turkish fishing boats have multiplied and the majority of them not only remain in the Aegean but in many cases move and fish illegally within 6 miles Greek islands

🔸 According to Dendias, "after the last experience I had in Geneva, the settlement of the Cyprus issue [seems to be] perhaps even further away, because now Turkey appears to not accept the UN Security Council resolution framework and consequence of international law, ie the two state proposal"

🔸 "I have not seen and still do not see a Turkish accession to the European Union" said Merkel, noting at the same time that she is making every effort to have good relations with Turkey. "That is why I was in favor of - as agreed in the EU-Turkey Refugee Agreement - starting negotiations on a Customs Union with Turkey and we have instructed the Commission to work in this manner"
🔸 "At the last European Council we decided to give another 3 billion euros to Turkey to support its work with refugees. And it is on these issues that I am talking to Mr Erdogan. I do not believe that we should use the refugees as a political tool, they are people" , and noted once again that Turkey "care in a prominent way especially for Syrian refugees, has done a lot and we support this", to conclude by expressing the wish that the EU-Turkey Agreement be further developed, as she said, this is the best for the people

🔸 "We have always argued that the channels of communication should be left open and in the Greek-Turkish relations we have already achieved some smaller steps (progress). These steps are now becoming more difficult, because regarding Cyprus, the Turkish President, deviating from the UN resolutions, focuses exclusively on a two-state solution, which of course is not accepted by the Cypriot side. Here we must now try to direct the talks under the auspices UN, with a lot of patience - and this is hard work - in the right direction. This was definitely a setback now, but we should not be discouraged by such setbacks"

This bronze Buddha is one of the earliest Shakyamuni icons from the ancient region of Gandhara [Pakistan] 1st to mid-2nd c. AD. He sits holding his right hand in abhaya mudra. His radiating halo is reminiscent of the Greek God Helios, his robes & hair shows Greco-Roman influence.
This is one of the earliest depictions of the Buddha in human form. Gandharan artists were familiar with Greek and Roman art from military expeditions, diplomacy, and trade. This Buddha’s unique halo is reminiscent of depictions of the god Helios in Greek and Sol in Roman art. The drape of the tunic echoes Hellenistic and Roman garments, as well as depictions of the Iranian god Mithra, and the Roman god Mithras. @GreekLeague
