In view of Turkey's actions in the Eastern Mediterranean, France announced that it would increase its mili- tary presence there. On closer inspection, Paris is using units of the French armed forces on the ground to take a stand. Two RAFALE B of the 4th Fighter Wing, sent to Cyprus for an exercise from 10 to 12 August, Photo: author made a stopover in Crete on 13 August. A French C-130FR HERCULES tanker aircraft is also present at the Andreas Papandreou air base in Paphos (Cyprus), also in connection with the exercise. The helicopter carrier (PHA) TONNERRE with support material on the way to Beirut was temporarily joined by the frigate LA FAYETTE, which was in Larnaca (Cyprus) as part of a bilateral exercise with the Hellenic Navy. The thick air that has been prevailing for several weeks between Greece and Turkey, this time caused by the Turkish search for gas deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean, has worsened in recent days following Ankara's dispatch of a research vessel. On Friday, 7 August 2020, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted immediately to a maritime agreement signed the day before between Athens and Cairo by an- nouncing the resumption of exploration. It is intended to regulate the maritime borders between the two countries. And it seems to be a deliberate replica of the agreement concluded last November between Turkey and the official Libyan Government (Tripoli), which in turn serves Ankara as the legal basis for its research and exploration projects in the Eastern Mediterranean. The agreement provoked opposition not only from Greece and Cyprus, but also from Egypt and Israel. On 10 August, by means of a navigation notification, Turkey informed of the resumption of its research projects with the research vessel ORUC REIS and her remaining in the sea area until 23 August. The dis- puted zone is the sea area between Cyprus and Crete. The research will take place in one of the Exclusive Economic Zones, either Greece or Cyprus. Pictures from the Twitter account of the Turkish Ministry of De- fence show the research vessel accompanied by naval vessels. The Elysée urged Turkey to stop its unilateral prospecting and to allow peaceful dialogue between NATO members and neighbours. A telephone conversation took place between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and French President Emmanuel Macron. Paris further states that the French President described the situation as worrying. On Twitter he announced his decision to temporarily increase the French military presence in the coming days in cooperation with European partners, including Greece. Earlier, the French President used the dispute with Turkey as an opportunity to question the value of NATO. In the framework of the EU operation IRINI, an unpleasant incident occurred between a Turkish and a French frigate, in which the Turkish unit behaved in an unduly aggressive manner for a NATO partner. Although NATO is reluctant to comment, Brussels is following developments closely. On 9 August, the EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell invited all parties to dialogue. "Maritime borders must be defined through dialogue and negotiation, not through unilateral action and the mobilisation of naval forces. Disputes must be resolved in accordance with international law. The European Union is determined to contribute to the settlement of such disputes and disagreements in this area of vital security interest". says the communiqué of the External Action Service. On the morning of 13 August an extraordinary video conference of EU Foreign Ministers was convened for 14 August. Besides discussions on the Eastern Mediterranean, the agenda includes Belarus, Lebanon and Venezuela. French Ulterior Motives? On the surface, Paris may be concerned with "reaffirming France's commitment to the free movement of persons, the safety of shipping in the Mediterranean and respect for international law". There may also be solid reasons why France is taking Greece's side. Paris has been working for some time on a structured and long-term partnership with the Greek maritime industry. It was launched earlier this year. The cooperation plan provided for the creation, with French support, of a centre of excellence for innovation in naval war- fare in Greece, the collaboration of over twenty Greek companies with Naval Group, Thales and MBDA, partnerships between universities. An intergovernmental agreement should be finalised before the end of the year. An arms deal, the purchase of two frigates for the Greek Navy, was also part of the discussions. All this seems to be in question following American advances. This will give a different look to the French involvement in the Eastern Mediterranean, side-by-side with Greece.
