Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aegean tensions, the UNGA, and the fragile state of Greek-Turkish relations
Q: What will you be looking out for from this meeting?
I believe there won't be any significant developments; it's more about supporting existing lines of communication.
Aegean tensions, the UNGA, and the fragile state of Greek-Turkish relations
Q: As you see it, is this interest a potential game-changer in the East Med?
I'm not sure it's a game-changer, but it does fortify the Greek opinion about its maritime zone in the East Mediterranean.
Aegean tensions, the UNGA, and the fragile state of Greek-Turkish relations
Q: Do you see these latest tensions over the possible deployment of the Piri Reis highlighting the fragile state that Greek-Turkish relations are in today?
Yes, it is absolutely indicative of the lack of trust between Greece and Turkey, especially in the Aegean.
Is Europe's "moment" slipping away?
Q: In your view, then, what steps can be taken or can Europe's leaders take to dispel the fears that Europe is facing, what you've called this century of humiliation, and instead revive that optimism that we had at the beginning of the year of a possible European moment?
Simon argues that finding European projects to tackle security and prosperity collaboratively could shift attitudes and show the effectiveness of unity in Europe.
Is Europe's "moment" slipping away?
Q: This stagnation also seems to be the case in the economy as well, because after soaring at the start of the year, European stocks seemed to have stalled, while growth in the euro area is sluggish. Are Europe's economic challenges telling us the same story that we've seen on the political side with this leadership crisis that you mentioned?
Yes, Simon asserts that economic stagnation mirrors the political leadership crisis, highlighting a lack of urgency in implementing necessary reforms.
