What’s new? Turkey and Greece have returned to talks after their mid-2020 dispute over sovereignty in the eastern Mediterranean Sea devolved into the longest-lasting military face-off since the 1970s. The discussions could help the parties de-escalate tensions and move from brinkmanship to dialogue.
Why did it happen? Tensions flared in 2019-2020 when Ankara – seeking a say in energy projects – sent seismic research ships to waters contested with Greece and the Republic of Cyprus, intervened in Libya’s civil war and signed a maritime delimitation deal with Tripoli. Turkey’s rivals have increasingly aligned with Greece over competing sovereignty claims.

Defend Boğaziçi University students against police state repression!
Sosyalist Eşitlik (Socialist Equality Group) strongly condemns the police attacks and detention of more than 150 students yesterday at the Boğaziçi University in İstanbul and in İzmir.
Police attacks on students around Boğaziçi University and in İzmir began yesterday at noon. They continued as hundreds of police armed with rifles entered Boğaziçi University, responding to a call by its rector, Melih Bulu. They detained students who continued peaceful sit-ins on the pretext that they were violating a 9 p.m. pandemic “curfew.” Snipers were placed atop buildings across the university, and helicopters flew overhead.
