Danger of Aegean clash
Regarding Washington’s concerns over a possible Greek-Turkish military clash in the Aegean, the former Secretary of State said that, “You are always concerned when you have ships moving in dangerous areas. Accidents happen and there are things that neither of the two nations that have tense relations can resolve after that. I was always concerned about an accident that would lead to a vortex of reactions.”
