Constantinos Filis, professor at American College of Greece and director of the Institute of International Relations, analyzes Turkey's growing influence in the region. The Mecca agreement has given Turkey an improved regional role, Filis explained. Of particular concern to Ankara is the alliance between Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, while Turkey's declaration of national marine parks beyond its territorial waters underscores its aggressive position.
