The new site said that, “ Turkey’s energy deal with Tripoli … is ratcheting up the dangers of open conflict between Ankara and Athens,” noting the agreement is to explore for energy off the Libyan coast without indicating whether it would take place in waters south of Greece. Ankara may not aim to kill anyone, but by its extreme behavior it could lead us to war,” he said. Said Gingeras: “For Ankara in the long term, the deal serves its bigger goal of having a more assertive presence in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean,” that Erdogan wants to establish regional hegemony. “Turkey wants to lead us into a debate about all issues, not only demarcation,” said Syrigos from the ruling New Democracy party. “No government in Greece could ever accept that, it would fall the next day.”
