Anger and panic are rife in Turkey over the expressed intention of Greece, Italy and Britain to join a peacekeeping force in Libya, aimed at ceasefire on both sides, something the EU is really considering.
These three countries sent the message "We are ready to help Libya", with the issue being discussed in Brussels ", the Turkish press reports.
The reason for the Turkish outrage is the fact that all three countries belong to the EU, which is actually considering the plan of military deployment in the country of a European force, especially after Merkel's initiative in Berlin last Sunday.
"The goal is to control the ceasefire," the EU foreign relations spokesman said.
Greece, the Turks emphasize, on the other hand, declared a voluntary military presence through the Foreign Ministry with the words "We are ready to help".
According to the Turkish daily Yeni Şafak, Italian Minister for European Affairs Vincenzo Amendola said the country is ready to deploy a peacekeeping force in Libya.
He pointed out that Italy already has more than 6,000 troops involved in peacekeeping missions.
Amendola claimed that Italy's possible presence in Libya "will give priority to maintaining peace unlike other forces".
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias has said, "that we agree with General Haftar on all matters, such as the withdrawal of Islamist mercenaries from Libya", while formally he himself wants to cancel the memorandum between Sharjah and Turkey.
"Greece is ready to help Libya the next day," Mr Dendias said, stressing that "the country will send Greek troops under the auspices of the EU or other" peacekeeping force "to Libya to protect the ceasefire and to control the arms embargo ".
This fact and the Greek backstage movements of our country in the EU have caused anger and panic in Ankara, because the Turks are simply afraid of being isolated.
That is why Ankara continues to press Berlin on this issue, with the German Chancellor reporting yesterday, about a new conference on Libya in February, to make Turkish military presence well-received and now "frozen". Temporarily, while Haftar does not sign any paper mentioning the word "Turkish".
But the reins of EU defense policy were essentially taken over by France, which is sending a naval squad to the Mediterranean, aiming for a provocative Turkish presence, bearing in mind the interests of the French oil pipelines.
Within these plans it is estimated that Greece is also "fit", which can be very good if hoped for.
Josep Borrell, the EU's High Representative for External Relations and Security Policies, said the EU could send troops to Libya if a permanent and formal ceasefire is achieved.
He said Brussels would consider sending a military peacekeeping force because: ceasefire should be monitored, while stressing that Brussels should do more to defend its interests.
Also, British Prime Minister M. Johnson noted that, if the ceasefire was achieved, an EU "peacekeeping force" could be sent to Libya to monitor the situation there.
Thus Italy, Greece and Britain are considered as the main candidates for the creation of a possible peacekeeping force, which is, as they all sho
w, institutionally now dealt with by the EU.
As soon as the Greek army breaks its ground in Libya, Turkey will lose everything, even the EEZ agreement with Turkey.
