One cannot claim to be the guarantor of stability while simultaneously hunting out opportunities to stir things up

Though, to be honest, Cyprus was never in any particular danger of getting involved either. It’s just closer to the front line than the rest of the EU, and mistakes happen

Will he or won't he? The question is meant for President Trump. But the answer affects everyone on the planet.

The polls keep rolling in one after another to confirm something we all sense: the political scene in Greece remains frozen in aspic.

Mitsotakis’ meeting with Erdogan was a must. The previous summit in New York had been postponed in complex circumstances and their relationship had essentially remained on ice for the past year. It was right to pick up the thread again from somewhere.  In the end, the meeting proved useful.   Nothing was settled and no breakthroughs […]

Europe is concerned. Which should come as no surprise. And it’s not hiding it. In an international environment as volatile, unpredictable and unstable as ours is right now, it’s not as if the continent can just kick back and smell the roses.

Five months from now, the 2023 Parliament will embark on the fourth and final year of its term in office

The Americans landed like the 101st Airborne Division in Normandy, turning tranquil Davos into Omaha Beach.

It’s been a year now of waking up and going to bed wondering who Trump is going to lash out at next. Which is probably a huge waste of time—at the rate he’s going, he’ll have picked a fight with everyone in no time. Ushering in a period of international insecurity and uncertainty in the […]

Not since World War II has there been such a clear rift within the Euro-Atlantic alliance. A rift that is deepening and widening almost daily as the result of a reckless and incoherent policy being pursued by the US

As we embark on 2026, there’s no doubt that relations have de-escalated, but equally so that they now find themselves at a crossroads. 

In 2026, the international community will be called upon to address two open wounds and a fundamental problem.

I now feel that we can wish our readers and their families health and happiness for the holiday period with relative confidence and in good faith.

The Second Cold War broke out suddenly and unannounced between the US and Europe and as it expands to encompass ever more areas, there is little indication where it will go from here

What can change in a region that already has 7,000 years of history, countless wars and scars, treaties and conflicts under its belt, and seen more than its fair share of both triumphs and disasters, great civilizations and world-altering religions?

In theory, the former Prime Minister is attempting something rarely seen in politics: presenting himself at the same time as both Someone Else and a continuation of his former self. I don't know if he’s going to pull it off, but it won’t be easy

Across Europe, if no one party ends up with an absolute parliamentary majority after the elections, it will collaborate with other parties to rule the land. In Greece, none of the parties want to work with any of the others—or that’s what they’ve said, at least

As someone rightly noted recently, the needle really does seem to be stuck and there’s no indication it will be getting unstuck any time soon. It is no coincidence that all the polls since the European elections have outlined the same picture with only minimal fluctuations. The positive reading is that they point to a […]

If you want to become an international energy hub, if you want to claim a distinct niche for yourself on the new geopolitical map, you cannot welcome the future with Kalashnikovs and clans on Crete.

The rearmament of Europe and Turkey’s activities in the wider region bring a question that has long exercised Greek politics back to the fore. What sort of Turkey do we want?
