🔸 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

🔸 "Cyprus is a member state of the EU, therefore we have every reason and should claim the full participation in the process of solving the Cyprus Occupation" Dendias said. " The EU, however, following hesitation, failed to even be part of the negotiations in Geneva"
🔸 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"

🔴 Merkel: "I do not see Turkey joining the EU"

🔸 "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

One of the long-lasting legacies of Alexander's Indian conquests was a later East-West cultural syncretism creating a Greco-Buddhist art. Compare the above Gandhara Buddha with this Alexander-Helios image.
