Merely a simple map featuring the situation of the energean data of Egypt, is enough to convince even the most doubting about Egypt’s dynamics.
The agreements with EGAS, the supervision by EGAS, and the open fields are so many, and so different, that as a result they are changing the picture in regards to both the 13 and the 20 marine plots of Cyprus and Greece respectively.
In other words, in the context of the Egypt-Greece-Cyprus tripartite, we all comprehend that Egypt plays an important role.
This is a dublex role, as there is also a contact point with Israel, which actively participates in the other trilateral of Israel-Greece-Cyprus.
But Egypt’s role became even more important with the discovery of the hypergigantic Zohr reserve by the ENI company, which exponentially upgraded Egypt’s capabilities, turning it from a country that could possibly need imports, into a country capable of making dynamic exports.
Therefore, the reality of the reserves doesn’t only enhance the issue of the transnational investments, such as the East Med pipeline, or the EuroAsia Interconnector, but it also enhances the founding of the high strategics of those countries.
We are no longer therefore absorbed by Greece’s old data, where the only issue which preoccupied the public, was merely, what will Turkey do, what would it say, how would it react, etc.
Now through game theory, we examine the players who want to play a role in the Eastern Mediterranean, so that we can, as Hellenism, stand in between Cyprus and Greece, and the European Union. And in this context Egypt’s potential is essential in regards to the developments.
