The narrative that the Turkish media is trying to push is that Armenia would have attacked Azerbaijan first, prompting a reaction. But the presence of reporters early in the morning signals to the fact that such conflict was expected or even guaranteed

This is common practice for Turkey, they say that they are in favor of dialogue and dont want new tensions or conflicts, but at the same time they say that there will be no peace if their demands are not met, something that has been exposed dozens of times and that the EU gladly ignores
BREAKING: German officials told Cyprus that Turkey will most likely not be sanctioned over its aggression against Greece and Cyprus
>https://archive.is/L400L
>https://archive.is/5Wp4q

"German officials coordinating with Nicosia, after the Republic of Cyprus told the foreign affairs council that it would use its veto power if sanctions against Belarus are not linked with those against Turkey, said that the prospect of sanctions against Turkey is a distant scenario"

[...]

"The German officials said sanctions have no substantial effect. They are, as they said, a dead-end strategy, which instead of getting Turkey in line, intensifies its challenges and leads it to more extreme positions"
President of the European Council "EU relationship with Turkey is being tested" stated that the Summit will focus on the adoption of a European strategic position for the East Med
>https://archive.is/YFT0w

The summit was postponed with the excuse that a security guard tested positive for COVID-19, but the real reason was the fact that Turkey had issued new NAVTEX for both Yavuz and Barbaros (a drilling ship and a seismic research ship) that are operating inside Cypriot EEZ waters, not only that but the EU's top priority seems to be sanctions on Belarus, which Cyprus had vetoed stating that it will not accept the EU to sanction belarus and not Turkey and at the time since Turkey had withdrawn their seismic research ship Oruc Reis, the sanctions were brushed aside

Now with a meeting between the Greek and Turkish FMs scheduled for after October 5 (after the summit), the sanctions will most likely not be imposed once Germany specially will most likely argue that it shows that both sides are de-escalating and will completely ignore Turkey's threats and inflamatory rhetoric. It is not clear wether Cyprus will still veto the sanctions against Belarus and demand that Turkey gets sanctioned, EU officials have been calling the Cypriot FM and President recently, trying to assure him that the EU is trying their best to make Turkey cease provocations and most likely ask Cyprus to cooperate with the Belarus sanctions
