After a first European Union reaction, on Tuesday, at the peak of the Imia crisis between Greece and Turkey, the European commission finally came to its senses and took clear position in favor of the European Union member, Greece.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said “I am “strictly against the behavior of Turkey”

yes. That’s all what Juncker said. that was enough to scare Turkey. No?
Juncker’s statement on Wednesday is much rigorous than the one by his spokesperson Margaritis Schinas on Tuesday.
EU spokesman: Turkey needs to “commit unequivocally” to good neighborly relations, avoid “friction, threat or action” against any EU member

I suppose now Turkey is withdrawing all its war ships and coast guard boats form the Aegean and the Cyprus Sea.
Unless, it is waiting for something tougher like a sentence containing the word “condemn.”
