Peace, security and stability in the Aegean region, as well as in Eastern Europe as a whole, is promoted by the United States, which has a “non-partisan attitude” as Turkey as well as in Greece.

US Ambassador to Turkey Jeffrey L. Flake confirms this in a statement, noting that Washington’s position on security in the Aegean has not changed.

“Our defense cooperation with our NATO allies, Turkey and Greece, is impartial and balanced towards both sides. Our concerted efforts are to bring an end to Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war in Ukraine,” Flake said in a statement posted on Twitter by the US Embassy in Ankara.
