The Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PA), Ms Irini Charalambidou, participated yesterday in an online meeting of the Assembly's Bureau.
The meeting discussed current and future activities of the OSCE CSO, as well as possible ways to address the challenges to the functioning of the Assembly arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In her intervention in the context of a discussion on current political issues, Ms. Charalambidou criticized the growing Turkish aggression in the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey's overt belligerent threats against Greece and Cyprus, which are intensifying daily due to the presidential elections in Turkey. He stressed that a possible deal to sell fighter jets to Turkey is most likely to result in further destabilization of the Eastern Mediterranean at a time of growing instability in Europe and beyond.
