Deepening relationships with Turkey should be contingent on them not acting like Russia (Cyprus and Syrian Kurdistan say hi).

Turkey and Syria seem to be in talks with Kurds, fingers crossed.

Also just generally the relations between Greece and Turkey, the conflicts don't stop with Cyprus.

We keep dealing with the US and China. I don't think we have the space and security to be picky, and Türkiye is not the worst of our allies, not by far.

I dont think Turkey will do anything bad with Cyprus(ie third invasion), any time soon. The kurds in Syria seem to be close to a deal with the Syrian government.

Turkey had a non 0% chance* of getting ready to cause an incident by invading or disputing greek islands(basically what Russia did in Ukraine) but after the Russian invasion, the strong and meaningful reaction by the West(instead of the usual stern letters of disapproval) and the whole F-35 fiasco, Turkey atm seems to have cooled off atm. The Russian invasion was one of the best things to have happened to Greece.

• Check Erdogan's comments about how Turkey might come one night(to Greece) and how their new missiles could reach Athens. Yup, thats the big ally of Europe, protector of liberal values and democracy, the wall that will stop foreign Imperial ambitions.
