What Wikileaks revealsAccording to Wikileaks revelations published by "Ta Nea", Stratfor had this information last fall when it was testing the waters and nerves of Greece, Cyprus and Israel, causing tension in the region.
In fact, according to a report cited by Wilkileaks, the company's analysts believed that both Nicosia and Athens took advantage of the rupture in Turkish-Israeli relations to ally with Israel.
"Turkey's official policy is to wait until Cyprus enters the production stage to take decisive action. A military confrontation is possible until then, although naval disputes will take place in a restrained manner. "This is strange, and although they may show restraint, there is room for miscalculations and errors that could escalate the situation," wrote a Stratfor analyst, echoing "Turkish energy sources" in late September, when the Ankara had a plan in place to set the scene in the area.
The Turkish analyst states that "Turkey can tolerate the Cypriot phase of the investigation, but its policy is to block production at all costs. "The real challenge for Turkey will arise when Cyprus reaches the production phase, if in the meantime no compromise is found between the two sides."
