The strategic compass is clearly pointing to the south east of europe right now because that is where you have tension building up between the turkish government and the greek government certainly that is the feeling here in berlin the interesting point to make here is of course the e. U. Does not have on its in its in its own way a military role the military role in europe the guarantee of security in europe has traditionally come from nato now thats important the nato secretary general u. N. Back is here in berlin this week here today and he will be here for the next couple of days because tomorrow and the day after there will be the e. U. Foreign ministers will be meeting in then but the nato angle is important because remember that greece and turkey are both natan and this of course turkey is not in the room although theyre not at this meeting the comments being made the view coming from the government of president richard type earlier one is definitely going to be that because he has been speaking about what he considers to be the turkish Government Support right to its its own rights over the territories of the black sea the mediterranean sea. And all everything that flows from that and thats important because the greeks and the turkish government disagree about the petrochemical finds that have been made in the Eastern Mediterranean around cyprus we know right now the french the italians the greeks and the cypriots have a military exercise underway in the Eastern Mediterranean so lots of tension right now between these 2 nato countries but only one of them has representation at this meeting thats taking place in berlin and its taking place here of course because the German Government currently holds the 6 month rotating presidency of the european union.
