France has since confirmed deployment of its ‘Lafayette’ frigate and three Rafale fighter jets to Cyprus, also as what's being described as a "massive maritime exercise" is underway in the eastern Mediterranean on Wednesday involving Greece, Cyprus, France and Italy.
Called the “Eunomia” military exercise, it's a clear and firm signal to Turkey meant to - as Greece's defense minister said, reinforce “the rule of law as part of the policy of de-escalating tensions.”
Defense Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos spelled out specifically that—
“the initiative… aims to demonstrate the commitment of the four European Mediterranean countries to the rule of law as part of the policy of de-escalating tensions.”
The drills are set to run from Wednesday through Friday of this week.
