  • Mitsotakis Britain:“You Wouldn’t Cut the Bayeux Tapestry in Half-It’s Time to Reunite Parthenon Sculptures”

    Mitsotakis to Britain: “You Wouldn’t Cut the Bayeux Tapestry in Half — It’s Time to Reunite the Parthenon Sculptures”

    In a direct intervention through The Guardian, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis takes the campaign for the Parthenon Sculptures straight to the British public, rejecting the idea of a “loan” and calling for their permanent reunification in Athens. His argument is deliberately simple: Britain would never contemplate cutting the Bayeux Tapestry in half. Why, then, should the Parthenon remain divided?

  • Trump–Xi: The “Selective Reciprocity” at the Heart of the Summit’s Biggest Contradiction

    Trump–Xi: The “Selective Reciprocity” at the Heart of the Summit’s Biggest Contradiction

    Xi Jinping has arrived in Washington for his first state visit in a decade, with Donald Trump rolling out a reception designed to project both power and respect. Trade, Taiwan and artificial intelligence dominate the official agenda. Iran, however, may be the file that most clearly exposes the limits of Washington’s doctrine of “reciprocity” toward China.

    Greece–Egypt–Cyprus Build Eastern Mediterranean Defense Shield: Rapid, Unified Response to Future Threats

    Athens, Cairo and Nicosia are moving toward deeper military coordination, with a joint declaration calling for stronger intelligence-sharing and coordinated capabilities to support a “rapid and unified response” to future threats against the three countries. Protection of gas fields, offshore energy infrastructure and supply lines, maritime security and operational cooperation through exercises such as “Medusa” are at the center of the new framework.

  • Mitsotakis in New York: “Greece Will Protect 30% of Its Territorial Waters Well Before 2030”

    Mitsotakis in New York: “Greece Will Protect 30% of Its Territorial Waters Well Before 2030”

    Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced three concrete Greek commitments at the launch of the OceanEye Global Alliance: Greek computing power and AI for the “Digital Twin of the Ocean,” stronger marine observation capabilities in the Eastern Mediterranean, and comprehensive mapping of marine habitats in the Aegean and Ionian marine parks. On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, the Greek prime minister also met Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, with AI, space, energy and Greece’s 2027 EU Council Presidency high on the agenda.

  • Mytilineos to Europe: “We Cannot Wait” – Energy Will Decide Whether European Industry Survives

    Mytilineos to Europe: “We Cannot Wait” – Energy Will Decide Whether European Industry Survives

    Evangelos Mytilineos puts Europe’s central industrial dilemma in stark terms: the green transition cannot come at the expense of competitiveness. He calls for a unified EU energy strategy, common European funding, investment in grids, storage and critical raw materials, warning that Europe must protect its industrial base during the transition — not after it.

  • Tsipras vs Mitsotakis:The Top 1% at the Checkout,€40 Billion on the Table—and a Greece Stuck at 68% of Europe

    Tsipras vs Mitsotakis: The Top 1% at the Checkout, €40 Billion on the Table — and a Greece Stuck at 68% of Europe

    Alexis Tsipras’ interview with SKAI went far beyond the battle over petrol prices and benefits. It brought into focus the economic confrontation likely to dominate the road to the next election: who should bear the cost of the crisis, how far redistribution can go, and how much fiscal space Greece actually has. European data support part of the opposition’s case on purchasing power and housing, while the government points to growth, employment and fiscal discipline. In the middle lies the question that could ultimately define the debate: will the promises survive the numbers?

    Erdogan at the UN: ‘International law’ in the Aegean, two states in Cyprus – Ankara’s dual line

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for disputes in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean to be resolved through international law, while in the same UN speech he again demanded international recognition of the breakaway entity in northern Cyprus and insisted on the “sovereign equality” of Turkish Cypriots.

    Trump at the UN: Ultimatum to Iran With Threat of “Annihilation” — Warnings to Russia, Mexico and Cuba

    From the podium of the 81st UN General Assembly, Donald Trump defended the war against Iran while leaving Tehran one final diplomatic off-ramp. He also delivered hard-line messages on Russia, drug cartels, Cuba and Venezuela, presenting a foreign-policy doctrine built around military power, economic pressure and strategic leverage.

    Europe’s €2tn Budget Battle: €131bn for Defence, €100bn for Ukraine — and a Fight Over Who Pays

    Brussels enters a crucial phase in negotiations over the EU’s 2028–2034 budget: almost €2tn, a fivefold increase in defence funding, up to €100bn for Ukraine and an increasingly difficult battle over national contributions — as political uncertainty in Germany complicates the search for compromise.

  • Trump–Erdogan Meeting in Doubt at UN:No Bilateral on Official Schedule-What Could Happen Behind the Scenes

    Trump–Erdogan Meeting in Doubt at the UN: No Bilateral on the Official Schedule — What Could Still Happen Behind the Scenes

    Despite public expectations that Donald Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan would meet on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, no formal bilateral appears on the U.S. president’s announced schedule. That does not rule out a brief pull-aside or an encounter at a leaders’ reception, but as of now there is no confirmed official Trump–Erdogan summit in New York.

    Netanyahu Takes the Fight to New York: “Shame on You, Mr. Mamdani-I’m Coming to the UN to Tell the Truth”

    Hours before heading to New York for the UN General Assembly, Benjamin Netanyahu escalated his confrontation with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of siding with Hamas and fueling hostility toward the city’s Jewish community. The Israeli prime minister says he will use the UN stage to defend Israel’s soldiers and challenge what his government sees as a distorted international narrative over Gaza. Mamdani rejects accusations of antisemitism and maintains that his criticism is directed at Israel’s government and its conduct of the war.

    Greece Sends 3+1 Messages to Turkey from the UN: Dialogue, but No Concessions on Sovereignty

    Athens arrives in New York with a dual message for Ankara: communication channels should remain open, but there will be no discussion over “grey zones,” the demilitarisation of Greek islands or other issues Greece regards as matters of sovereignty. Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis reiterates that the delimitation of the continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone is the only Greek-Turkish dispute that can be referred to international jurisdiction.

    New York’s Diplomatic Chessboard: Erdoğan, Cyprus and the Meeting That Is Still Up in the Air

    The 81st UN General Assembly is turning New York into the center of global diplomacy. For Athens and Nicosia, however, the real action may take place away from the podium: a possible Mitsotakis–Erdoğan encounter, renewed tensions in the Aegean and Christodoulides’ diplomatic push on Cyprus are creating an intense geopolitical backdrop in the Eastern Mediterranean.

    Why Not Simply Cut the Tax on Petrol? The Answer Is Worth Hundreds of Millions

    Kyriakos Mitsotakis has opened the door to a temporary reduction in fuel excise duties, but behind every cent that could disappear from the pump price lies a substantial cost to Greece’s budget — and a crucial decision that Athens wants Brussels to make.

  • Greenland Security Shifts Toward NATO — Trump Claims “Permanent Control,” Denmark Draws a Red Line

    Greenland Security Shifts Toward NATO — Trump Claims “Permanent Control,” Denmark Draws a Red Line

    Denmark, Greenland and the United States are preparing to sign a security agreement in New York that could give NATO a substantially larger role in Arctic defence. Donald Trump describes the deal as granting Washington “permanent control” over Greenland’s security, while Copenhagen and Nuuk insist sovereignty is not being transferred. Behind the dispute lies a much larger strategic contest involving Russia, China, missile defence and the rapidly changing security architecture of the High North.

  • America Is Burning Through Its Strategic Margin in Iran:Patriot Stocks Under Pressure-What Left Russia China?

    America Is Burning Through Its Strategic Margin in Iran: Patriot Stocks Under Pressure — What’s Left for Russia and China?

    The war with Iran had already cost the Pentagon $33.4 billion through the end of June, including $22.3 billion in munitions. An official US watchdog has now identified “strategic inventory shortfalls,” while outside estimates suggest Patriot interceptor stocks have been drawn down sharply. The bigger question for Washington is no longer only Iran: how much military capacity can the United States consume in the Middle East while preserving enough to deter Russia and China?

  • Fidan Raises the Stakes Over the Cable: “Don’t Make a Reckless Move”–Kasos 2, France and the Three Scenarios

    Fidan Raises the Stakes Over the Cable: “Don’t Make a Reckless Move” – Kasos 2, France and the Three Scenarios

    Ankara is raising the temperature again ahead of the expected resumption of survey work for the Great Sea Interconnector. Hakan Fidan’s deliberately ambiguous warning could refer to the Greece–Cyprus electricity cable, a potential extension of Greek territorial waters around Kastellorizo, or the deployment of new defensive systems on the eastern Aegean islands. Athens, however, is signaling that a “Kasos 2” cannot unfold under the same conditions: France now has a direct stake in the project, Nexans is central to its implementation, and Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Emmanuel Macron have already coordinated on the next steps.
