"Tension across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean held at its recent elevated plateau on 4 October, with no new incidents, official escalations or confirmed violation counts verified for this cycle. The month-long Turkish-Greek Aegean exercise-NOTAM dispute stayed unresolved and drew a warning of confrontation risk in Turkish commentary, while reporting on 5 October said Athens and Paris are nearing a compromise formula for the disputed Great Sea Interconnector cable survey."

Military posture: 5/10 · Turkish exercise NOTAM (25 Sep-27 Oct) and Greek counter-notice (12-20 Oct), which Ankara declared \"null and void\", remain unresolved; a Turkish strategist (A Haber, 4 Oct) warned overlapping drills risk \"a hot conflict\".
Diplomatic / political: 5/10 · Turkish Cypriot leader Ustel's 2 Oct criticism of the Republic of Cyprus's defence build-up continued to fuel domestic debate, including a 4 Oct Cyprus Mail editorial questioning the EU-funded rearmament; no new government-to-government démarche was reported.
Economic / informational: 5/10 · Reporting on 5 Oct said Greece and France are seeking a \"notification vs authorisation\" formula for Great Sea Interconnector seabed surveys near Kasos/Karpathos, after Türkiye's defence ministry (1 Oct) said it would not permit unauthorised work on its claimed continental shelf; the dispute remains unresolved.
EW / SIGINT: 3/10 · No GPS/GNSS jamming, spoofing or other interference attributable to Greece, Cyprus or Türkiye was reported in the last 24 hours; scored at the routine default.
