Floros on Turkey and the Cable: “We Need Nobody’s Permission — If the Vessel Is Harassed, All Scenarios Are on the Table”
Former Chief of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff General Konstantinos Floros delivered a clear message over the Greece–Cyprus electricity interconnector and Turkey’s claims in the Eastern Mediterranean: “No one’s permission is required,” he said, arguing that Greece has both diplomatic and operational tools at its disposal to defend its interests. “If the vessel is harassed, all scenarios and all plans exist to support it,” Floros added, while describing Marco Rubio’s visit to Athens as strategically significant.
