“Absolutely unacceptable and condemnable” characterizes the statements of the Turkish President for the interruption of the dialogue with the Prime Minister of Greece, SYRIZA-PS in a statement.
He added: “We expect the reaction of our allies and partners that can not once again be based on equal distances and words without reciprocation, but on specific commitments to the sovereignty and sovereign rights of Greece.”
Response to his statements Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave earlier the government spokesman, after the reports of the Turkish president to the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The Turkish president succeeded on Monday afternoon against Kyriakos Mitsotakis, saying that he would not meet with him again, while he raised his voice in his speech at the launching ceremony of the new Turkish submarine.
The statement of Giannis Oikonomou in more detail:
“The Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis strongly and effectively defends both our national law and international legitimacy. Greek foreign policy is strongly based on history, international law and our alliances, no matter how much it bothers some. We will not confront statements with the Turkish leadership. “Our policy is a policy of principles.”
Erdogan: Mitsotakis does not exist for me
“From today, for me Mitsotakis no longer exists. “I will never agree to meet with him,” said Tayyip Erdogan provocatively after a meeting of the Turkish cabinet.
“We had agreed with him on the strategic cooperation council, in which I will not participate. I will not meet with MitsotakisHe insisted.
“Greece has built 10 bases… Against which country?” he wondered.
He blamed the prime minister for his speech to Congress. “He made recommendations not to sell F-16s in Turkey!” he noted angrily.
As Manolis Kostidis pointed out, the atmosphere is reminiscent of when the then Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov had proposed to the Turkish president to meet with Mr. Mitsotakis, and he had refused, saying that “I am not sitting at the same table with Mitsotakis.”
Erdogan’s statements at the time were in 2020, that is, at the time of the “siege” of Evros by immigrants. According to a SKAI report, it now exists increase in refugee flows both through the Aegean and through Evros. In Evros they are recorded daily 350 entry barriers, 25% increase from the same period last year.
His pre-election “show” Recep Tayyip Erdogan against Greece and Cyprus earlier in the solemn launching ceremony of the Hızırreis submarine (German-made “Papanikolis” type submarine) at the Golchuk shipyard in Istanbul.
Erdogan took care to bring back the provocative narrative of the “Blue Homeland”. “In the last 5 years we have been running 750 projects of the defense industry. “We have implemented many projects that will make our navy stronger and more deterrent, for the security of the” Blue Homeland “” he said characteristically.
The Turkish president claimed that “our bad neighbor made us the owner of a defense industry” by “photographing” Greece, but also Cyprus.
