Greece warns another European war could be on the horizon as Turkey hints at the possibility of an invasion
- Greece is calling on the EU, NATO, and the UN to condemn Turkey over recent threats.
- Turkey's Erdogan has made veiled threats of an attack against Greece.
- "When the time comes, we can come suddenly one night," Erdogan said on Tuesday.
Greece is calling on its allies to condemn Turkey over recent aggressive rhetoric from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has hinted at the possibility of open conflict as tensions rise between the two countries.
In letters dated Monday and Tuesday to NATO, the EU, and the UN that were reported on by the Associated Press, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias called for all three institutions to rebuke Ankara over Erdogan's comments. Dendias said that allowing Turkey to continue threatening Greece would run the risk of yet another conflict in Europe, in an apparent reference to the war in Ukraine.
Take a closer look at Russian oligarch's $700 million superyacht that is one of the largest in the world
- Roman Abramovich had seemingly scrambled to avoid sanctions from the UK by moving his superyachts.
- One of those is The Eclipse, which cost $700 million to build and was once the biggest in the world.
- That yacht was once in New York City and we took some photos.
Like other Russian oligarchs, Roman Abramovich had seemingly scrambled to avoid sanctions and that included quickly moving his superyachts to more friendly waters.
Many of the 55-year-old billionaire's assets — such as the Chelsea Football Club and several homes — have been sold or frozen since Russia launched an unprovoked war on Ukraine, Bloomberg reported. The conflict has dragged on for six months now.
While Abramovich couldn't move the Premier League football club Chelsea FC and sold the $3 billion club in May, his yachts are another matter.
Abramovich's 553-foot-long flagship is The Eclipse, estimated to have cost $700 million when built. After sanctions were initially dropped by the UK against Abramovich following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his second "smaller" $600 million superyacht, Solaris, left Barcelona, Spain, and moved to Montenegro. However, on March 13, the yacht then hastily left that port without refueling and moved on to Turkey.
Solaris was joined in Turkey by The Eclipse, which arrived from the Caribbean.
While the superyacht Eclipse was photographed in Turkish waters in early August, it was once docked at Manhattan's Pier 90 and Robert Johnson was able to get some pictures. Take a tour of the superyacht below.

"By not doing so in time or by underestimating the seriousness of the matter, we risk witnessing again a situation similar to that currently unfolding in some other part of our continent," Dendias said. "This is something none of us would really wish to see."

In a letter to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, the top Greek diplomat said, "The Turkish attitude is a destabilizing factor for NATO's unity and cohesion, weakening the southern flank of the alliance at a moment of crisis," per the Associated Press.
Though both countries are NATO members, Turkey and Greece have a historically contentious relationship and have a longstanding dispute over islands in the Aegean Sea — on top of disagreements over other issues such as maritime boundaries.
Erdogan over the weekend accused Greece of occupying demilitarized islands in the Aegean, warning that Turkey will do "what's necessary" when the time comes. In what was seemingly a veiled threat of an invasion or attack against Greece, Erdogan warned that Turkey could "come down suddenly one night."
"Look at history, if you go further, the price will be heavy," Erdogan said.
During a visit to Sarajevo on Tuesday, the Turkish leader doubled down on this threat.
"What I'm talking about is not a dream," Erdogan said after he was questioned about his earlier comments toward Greece, the Associated Press reported. "When the time comes, we can come suddenly one night."
