- The problem is EU’s interests are not necessary fully compatible with solidarity with Greece and Cyprus. Being a side and an honest intermediary at the same conflict makes it very difficult for the EU. This is different than Belarus or Ukraine.On the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, we are clear and determined in defending EU’s interests and solidarity with Greece and Cyprus. We want to find paths towards a healthier relationship. It is in the mutual interest of both the EU and Turkey
