Greece is the Most Valuable Player of NATO. Some may call that an exaggeration, but given the general blind acceptance of Turkey — which has been dubbed “the new Iran” for good reason — Greece is the only Western country standing up to Turkey, a major threat to regional stability, and potentially to that of the world at large.
The news of Greece challenging Turkey comes as Israel recently moved to protect itself from Turkish aggression.

“Greece warns Turkey against violating sovereign rights, vows response from ‘position of strength,’” by Leo Feierberg Better, Jerusalem Post August 25, 2026:
Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis issued a strong warning to Turkey, saying that “the Greece of passive diplomatic stagnation belongs definitively to the past.”
“Any attempt to violate our sovereign rights will be met with every means at our disposal,” he said.
Gerapetritis described the “maritime parks” promoted by Turkey as “illegal and lacking legal validity,” while stressing that Greece is “fully prepared for any scenario,” despite continuing to pursue peace.
Gerapetritis said on Monday in an interview with Greek television channel OPEN TV that Greece is prepared to respond on the ground if Turkey takes steps that, according to Athens, violate its rights, N12 News reported on Monday.
Asked about the possibility of Turkey sending warships to the area, Gerapetritis said Greece does not intend to refrain from responding and has several options available.
‘Greece has proven it can send frigates and F-16s’
“It is self-evident that Greece will fully exercise its sovereign rights,” Gerapetritis reportedly said, adding that “We will do whatever is necessary. We will respond to provocations and we will respond from a position of strength.”
When asked whether Greece would respond if Turkey sent frigates to the area, Gerapetritis emphasized Greece’s ability to deploy its own ships without specifying numbers, N12 reported…

Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the 50+ Islamic Countries are Terrorist States against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 5:51; 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 5:51 commands, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Also, Allah in Qur’an 5:82 says that Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims. ALLAH’S MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than diabolical Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.”

Gerapatritis gets it. Turkey has been violating Greek waters again.
The Turks throw whatever they can at the wall to see what sticks.
Glad to see some Greeks are remembering their history and the Ottoman boot.
Bravo O Kyrios Gerapatritis!

Considering Turkey has occupied part of Cyprus for about 50 years, we should really wonder why Turkey can become a NATO member and is considered as an ally to the west.

It’s fine to say all that, but Greece does need to rearm, and harden both its border in Thrace as well as its navy. Otherwise, those are just empty threats. Right now, Turkey is the largest standing army in both Europe and the Middle East, and only (probably) less powerful than Israel’s

The Argument: They argued that sharing the space for prayer would serve as a powerful global symbol of interfaith harmony and a living tribute to the medieval era of convivencia (coexistence) under Al-Andalus. They even timed letters to leverage goodwill following papal visits to Islamic sites, such as Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.

Incident: A group of Muslim tourists from Austria (part of an organized tour) entered the cathedral during Holy Week. Several members unrolled prayer rugs, kneeled, and began praying loudly among the historic arches.
The Scuffle: When cathedral security guards intervened and ordered them to stop, a physical altercation broke out. National Police officers were called to the scene as the situation escalated into a broader melee. Two security guards and a police officer were injured, and two of the tourists were arrested.
The Legal Aftermath: The event led to a high-profile criminal trial. Prosecutors initially sought steep prison sentences, alleging the action was coordinated in advance using walkie-talkies to breach the ban as well as coordination with foreign organizations.
