🇨🇾 The EU Parliament adopted a resolution to document Cypriot women’s testimonies of sexual violence during the 1974 Turkish invasion that have been historically unrecognized.
On the @GreekCurrent podcast, @NatalieAlk argues that survivors need a social commitment to free speech to safely share their stories.

With the tourism season in full swing, #Greece is hoping for another record breaking year of visitors. This success, however, also raises key concerns about over-tourism.
@AliaMalek joined me on the @GreekCurrent to examine how this is impacting #Amorgos: open.spotify.com/episode/4uS…

While #Greece is on a much stronger financial footing today than in the previous decade, it still needs to move carefully if it’s going to weather the storms of global uncertainty and political change at home.
Great chatting with @wolfpiccoli on the @GreekCurrent about all this.

I chat about all of these developments with @ekathimerini's @tamisellis, @MacroPolis_gr's @NickMalkoutzis and @YiannisMouzakis, and @JTPsaropoulos on The Greek Current.

Greek politics is shaking up, and the shift into campaign mode is kicking into a higher gear. So far all eyes have been on #Greece’s opposition, as former PM Alexis Tsipras makes a play to establish himself as the candidate that will unite the left.

As #Turkey raises tensions in the Aegean with its proposed "Blue Homeland" law, let's not forget - as @Zemenides points out - that Ankara's "commitment" to calm waters with #Greece was always a ploy to buy time. It never shifted its policy on Blue Homeland, the casus belli...
The Greek Current retweeted
Tensions in the east Med are heating up, and so is my conversation w/@Zemenides & @ThanosDavelis for the @GreekCurrent 🔥🔥
Beyond the Aegean, #Turkey is also trying to send the message that it intends to have the final say on projects in the region, and we’ve seen this in its efforts to undermine projects like IMEC.
@SinanCiddi & @Zemenides break down why these plans are "pie in the sky"...
The Greek Current retweeted
What’s at stake in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean should #Turkey move forward with its provocative “Blue Homeland” legislation?
@nords41 and @ThanosDavelis dig into this on the latest episode of the @GreekCurrent.

90% real news. 10% narratives straight from Turkey. Build trust first, then weaponize it. The most dangerous propaganda is the kind you trust. Thanks to @EFischberger now we know. He breaks down exactly how you expose an influence op hiding in plain sight. ekathimerini.com/politics/fo…

Today on @TheRestHistory, we are on the road to THE BATTLE OF MARATHON.
How Darius usurped an empire to become the most powerful man on the planet.
How Athens joined a revolt against him.
How the Great King bent his gaze towards the impious city...

I guess our latest @GreekCurrent episode on Clash Report (published today & feat. @EFischberger) hit a nerve.
As for Turkey being "great"... I agree. Here are a few things it excels at:
Threatening NATO allies, occupying its neighbors, supporting Hamas, jailing dissidents...👇
The Greek Current retweeted
Anyone following international politics on X is sure to have come across @clashreport. What most don’t know - and what @EFischberger broke down to me - is that Clash Report is a Turkish media operation with close ties to the Erdogan family.

Great chatting with @maxbergmann, @mariademertzis, and @EFischberger. We take a close look at the message POTUS' announcement to pull US troops from Europe sends, the prospect of a renewed US-EU trade war, and pull back the curtain on "Clash Report" - a Turkish media operation.
The Greek Current retweeted
Bravo Senator @CoryBooker & @SenMcCormickPA!
An important step for the region as this bill will strengthen US support for IMEC, recognize the region’s role as a strategic gateway in IMEC, and reinforce regional initiatives like the 3+1 with 🇬🇷-🇮🇱 -🇨🇾 and the East Med Gas Forum.
The Greek Current retweeted
Spot on @SenBooker!
The East Med is a vital connective hub linking Europe, the Middle East, and India, and the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act will strengthen energy security, enhance economic integration, and promote long‑term regional stability - all core US interests.
The Greek Current retweeted
The Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act will not only strengthen ties with partners like #Greece, #Cyprus, #Israel, and #Egypt - who consistently step up when it matters most - but will also keep malign actors and adversaries in check.
Bravo, @SenMcCormickPA!
The Greek Current retweeted
What are the stakes for the Middle East and East Med as Erdogan’s escalatory posture towards Israel raises tensions in the region?

All of Europe’s eyes were on #Hungary last week as voters brought an end to Viktor Orban’s 16 years in power.
#ICYMI - I chatted with @StevenErlanger, @Simon_Nixon, @jlynnmccoy & @NickMalkoutzis about the wider ramifications of this election.
