Greece’s move surprised the Turkish side, as it changes the agenda in the south of Crete
The Turkish press appears surprised by the announcements of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis about immediate start of research south of Crete with ExxonMobil.
As reported by SKAI’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, CNN Turk reported that “Turkey will send its drilling rigs if Greece agrees with Libya”.
Her columnist Milliyet Ozai Sentir reported: “Greece is pushing hard and saying ‘Libya to make an agreement with us’.” We need to see that matter immediately. What are we going to do; We will probably see the terms with the Exclusive Economic Zone agreement and immediately send our drilling rigs there. If indeed the US loses its balance and pressures the Libyan government to come to an agreement with Greece, Turkey’s response will be clear. We agreed earlier with them and we will say ‘we are coming and starting the investigations'”.
“Tayfun can hit all of Greece”
According to Turkish analysts, the Tayfun ballistic missile can hit all of Greece
“Today it has a range of 600 km, later it will have a range of 1,000 km”
The colonel e.a. Erai Guçoluer said: “The Tayfun missile is essentially a smart missile system with special details and sensitive systems with a range of 600 kilometers and according to information this range will reach 1000 1000 kilometers. Today it is at 600 kilometers. Let me explain the following. Smyrna and the Peloponnese are 156 kilometers away. Put the 600 kilometers..it’s almost three times as far, that is, it reaches here. Did you understand? In other words, with our own defense systems, we have already put all of Greece within our coverage area within our range.”
Meanwhile, the Hurriyet newspaper reported that the American ambassador in Athens, George Tsounis, said that in the event of war, Greece would manage on its own. “The US ambassador in Athens made it clear that the US will not get involved.”
