An escalation of tensions between Greece and Turkey is predicted in 2023 by the British magazine Economist. As analysts say, "Erdogan will choose confrontation either in Syria or in the Aegean with Greece. The Turkish president may also try to reverse his downward, bad (i.e. electoral) fortunes through confrontation, either with Kurdish rebels in Syria or with old enemy Greece over airspace and maritime rights. With Greek elections also around the corner, the risk of escalation is real."
However, Turkish TV network CNN Turk wonders about the intentions of the text. The channel's anchor Gioksu Ongoren Ozgur says that "we know there is tension between the two countries, as well as between the leaders of Greece and Turkey. But there is a suggestion here that Turkey might do some intervention. When I read this term about intervention, different scenarios come to mind, like Imia or something else."
For his part, strategic analyst Abdullah Cifci said: "But our president has already stated that "one night we can come suddenly." What else can he say? "We can come suddenly one night", we said that." The journalist asked, "So, you're telling me what else we can expect, right?"
"If a Greek-Turkish war arises in the Aegean, the question is what impact it will have on Cyprus, as the Greek Cypriots are arming themselves will it have an impact on the Eastern Mediterranean and Syria."
"If a Greek-Turkish war arises in the Aegean, the question is what impact it will have on Cyprus, as the Greek Cypriots are arming themselves will it have an impact on the Eastern Mediterranean and Syria. For this reason I think we should not overlook his prediction," the analyst commented.
