Greek Turkey He Jian is tense

Recently, Turkey and Greece, the "enemies", began to "tear each other." First of all, Athens announced that Turkish Air Force sent 23 fighters to the Aegean Sea within 24 hours, and invaded Greece for 78 consecutive times. Then Ankara returned without politely, accusing Greece using the S300 air defense missiles deployed on Crete Island. The system locks on the Turkish fighter flying in the international airspace, which strongly condemns its "hostile provocation" for "NATO ally". With the "confrontation" that you come and go, the smell of gunpowder between Greek and Tu is getting stronger and stronger, and the Aegean Sea is cloudy and cloudy.

Hundred years of historical grievances

Although the two countries are neighbors with water, the nation and religious grievances have long been resentful. Historically, the Aegean Sea area, including the western Annered Peninsula, was the core area of ​​ancient Greek civilization. In 1453, after the Islamic Turkish Empire of Islam, the Byzantine Empire, annexed the large southeast European land where Greece was located today. Orthodox in the former Byzantine Empire either changed to Islam or become a second -class citizen. In the following 400 years, the unbearable Greeks have repeatedly uprising, but have been ruthlessly suppressed.

With the decline of the Ottoman Empire in modern times, the east European ethnic groups have set off a rushing national liberation campaign. In 1821, the Greeks took the lead in the first shot to get rid of the 400 -year -old slavery, and thus triggered the national independent Domino card effect within the Ottoman Empire, accelerating the disintegration and collapse of the declined empire. In the First World War in the early 20th century, Higuki joined the two major military groups of the Association and the Allies, respectively, and did not open friends in the Balkans. With the defeat of the German Group, the Osman Empire, who was wronged, was forced to sign the "Solor Treaty", facing the tragedy of being slaughtered by the Jiaoxiang national powers and his younger brothers. In this round of melons, Greece even sent nearly 100,000 people as "vanguard" under Britain and France, and rushed to the banner of "Seda Fur Treaty" to go straight to Danatolia and Siren, hoping to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity Grand Greek Kingdom, who has re -dreaming for thousands of years. However, the Greeks hit a strong Musta Kayer.

The old pain is unprecedented, and the new complaint is added again

Although Turkey, which was poverty and weak at that time, reluctantly retained the Asia Minor Peninsula, was forced to abandon large European territories due to the pressure of the powers. Greece is obviously the biggest beneficiary. Not only is Kermal's hometown Salonica, but also the islands of the Turkish coastline. The "Liangzi" of Greek Tu, the "Liangzi" of Greek Tu, deepened. In 1952, under the United States and Britain's miserable match, Greek Tu joined NATO at the same time and became a legal "ally", but in reality, the two countries have never "turned the enemy into friends". There are always sharp differences in the division of the continental shelf, so that Greece has become the main force to block Turkey's entry into Europe.

After entering the contemporary society, on the basis of the original historical and hatred, the conflict of the Greek earth incorporated into the economic and energy factors. Both countries are countries with scarce oil and gas resources, and their energy supply high depends on imports. Since entering the 21st century, the East China Sea centered on Cyprus Island has discovered a large number of natural gas resources under the sea, and the proven reserves have been sufficient to change the energy pattern of Europe and near -east.

With the heat of the East China Sea Gas Field, the relationship between Greek Tu is "old pain and new resentment", and frequently staged a sword -pull armed confrontation in this sea area. Critical friction between the two countries is a commonplace, and the military and political leaders of the two sides even repeatedly released the ruthless words of "at the expense of World War I". The East China Sea has become another gunpowder barrel in Europe after Balkan.

Greek Tu fight for military reserve, Europe is tilted

In terms of comprehensive national strength, Turkey is obviously dominant. The title of NATO's second largest conventional armed forces is by no means a virtual name, or the Soviet Union during the heyday is quite afraid, and dare not easily go south. In contrast to Greece, although the national strength and military strength are inferior, because of most of the coastal islands, it has always grasped the initiative of the local battlefield.

In order to break through the closure of the Greek island chain, earthwork can be described as racking their brains. In the context of the downturn in the domestic economy, the "tightening pants belt" still strives to create the leading aircraft carrier battle group around the sea. At present, the first domestic aircraft carrier "Anadulu" has been listed, and the installation construction of the second "Sedares" is also underway. These two large ships with a full -loading displacement of 28,000 tons and 12 vertical/short -range take -off and landing fighters were highly hoped by the local military and political sectors. banner". The Turkish Navy hopes to achieve the dream of "blue water breakthroughs" with these two "heavy weapons of the country". The passive situation of "inside defense".

Faced with the rapid expansion of the Navy, the Greek side did not hesitate to give up, and immediately put a heavy money to order the four latest French "Belhara" -class "full number" invisible air defense frigates, and announced that it spent 190 million euros to expand a significant expansion of gram. The Ritt Island Naval Air Force Base, intending to build a cost -effective country in the East China Sea "not sinking aircraft carrier". It is foreseeable that the Higuki military reserve competition will still chase you in the future for a long time. Objectively speaking, Turkey, which is relatively complete than the military system, Greece simply rely on the "buy, buy, buy" model. However, around the Greek Turkey dispute, the NATO member states were almost unprecedentedly stood on the side of Greece and shouted. In terms of culture or religion, European countries have a natural sense of closeness to Greece. In the past few years, Turkey has been playing with Russia, which has really made the Western "big guys" a little troublesome. In order to ensure the "Eastern Mediterranean's balance", France, who has always looked at Turkey's unpleasant eye, was directly sold and semi -semi -selled from Greece's 18th -known "quasi -five generations" fighter. Essence The United States on the other side of the ocean is even more unknown. Not only does it find a kick to kick the soil out of the F-35 supply chain, but even prepares to resold the 6 F-35 originally produced for the Air Force to Greece! This is clearly embarrassed and humiliated to Turkey.

The retreat is not blocked

For a while, Turkey seemed to feel the pressure from many parties. However, the Turkish government's act on the collective pull of the European countries is quite "calm and calm". After all, since joining NATO 70 years, as the only Islamic country, it is the norm for being isolated and left out. As long as the Bosptruce Strait is still in his own hands, Ankara determined that he would not dare to do things too well in both the United States and the European Union, and he would not allow NATO internal soldiers to meet each other. Various and indignation of the United States and Europe just reflect the fear and helplessness of Turkey's unruly.

Although the Greek Tu dispute is intensified, the current situation is generally controllable, and neither party has blocked the retreat. On the one hand, in the face of Russia's counterattack under the United States and Western pressure, NATO's "gang unity" is very important. On the other hand, although this pair of "enemies" were fierce, in fact, their respective homes were "messy", and he had no time to take care of him.

For Turkey, the domestic economy is in danger, and the depreciation of the lira depreciates "a thousand miles". At present, there is no sufficient foundation with Greece. A series of tough gestures recently shown by Tuzhizheng and the development of the party leadership are nothing more than to divert domestic contradictions that are increasingly integrated and pave the way for the presidential election next year. On the other hand, I know that the comprehensive national strength and geographical value are far from neighbors. As long as they do not constitute a substantial sexual assault on the dignity of the national nation, Greece, which actually controls more than 70%of the Aegean Sea, will never intend to stab the earth's nerves too much. In front of the "big guy" in the United States and Europe, Athens really couldn't afford the "guilt" that pushed Ankara to Russia. A few days ago, in order to declare the country's tough stance in the Aegean Sea dispute, the Turkish and Air Forces F-16 fighter formations also flew the North Aegean Sea many times. Greek did not take any further countermeasures on such a "provocative move". It can be seen that Athens is also uneasy about the possibility of wiping the gun.

Having said that, the Aegean Sea, where the strategic interests of the two countries, are destined to be calm.
