With composure and vigilance, Athens is watching the delusional descent of Ankara, which has lost every trace of composure and one after another government officials. after the “slogan” of frenzy given yesterday by Tayyip Erdogan, attacking Greece and its prime minister, continue in the same extreme “motto” against our country. An attack that comes from Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s trip to Washington, the top contacts he had and the positive imprint he brought.
Athens, steadfast and unwavering in its principles, does not follow the Turkish frenzy and through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, who spoke to SKAI, maintains that “We do not follow the acidity, nor do we react in a way that the other side will impose. We have our own positions. We will not fall into the trap of aggravation, if we judge it, we will intensify because the Greek government decides it “.
The new Turkish “delirium”
Earlier, after the delirium of Tayyip Erdogan who could not hide his anger for the contacts of Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the American capital, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s nationalist partner Nevlet Bahceli, launching mydras against Kyriakos Mitsotakis for his speech in the American Congress and for what he said about the solution of the Cyprus problem. The Turkish politician said about the Greek prime minister that he “aspires to become the pawn of the West”, while he exceeded all limits, talking about “historical rupture” and “dishonorable weakness”, characterizing, in fact, Kyriakos Mitsotakis as insidious and cowardly as his grandparents “.
“In our opinion, it is quite problematic that the speech of the Greek Prime Minister in the US Congress was applauded 37 times in 42 minutes, ten of which were standing. We do not know what the deputies found in Mitsotakis’s speech, but if we know anything it is that they met on common ground against Turkey. “said initially Nevlet Bahceli.
He also referred to Cyprus provocatively claiming and telling everyone that “Cyprus is and will remain Turkish” while insisting on Turkey’s position for resolving the Cyprus issue on the basis of two states, unabashedly accusing the Greek Cypriots of atrocities and torture and once again falsifying history. “No matter how much Prime Minister Mitsotakis opposes, there is no other way out in Cyprus than the two-state solution, which will be based on sovereignty and equality. The will of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots is in this direction. Or they will willingly accept it. “Or this goal will become a reality. When will Mitsotakis remember the massacres, the bloody attacks, the atrocities and the tortures against the Turkish Cypriots? (…) The destiny of Cyprus is not Greek rule, but Turkish rule”.
In the offensive line drawn by Tayyip Erdogan and his government partner continued the frontal attack against the Greek Prime Minister using personal descriptions and not being able to accept the excellent level of Greek-American relations. “It is a historic rupture, a dishonorable weakness that this prime minister, who timidly took refuge under the wings of the United States and speaks back and forth, aspires to become the pawn of the West. “Mitsotakis, who brought the map of the Blue Homeland to the agenda, in his meeting with the US president and complained about Turkey, is as insidious and cowardly as his grandparents,” said Bahceli, exceeding all limits of decency at the level of public dialogue and public dialogue. “The Turkish nation will resist to the end the policy of harassment and provocations of Greece and will stand under any circumstances against the attackers in the Mediterranean and the Aegean,” he stressed.
We will not fall into the trap of Turkey
In this delirium of aggression and distortion of reality and history, Athens is watching calmly and as Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias clearly stated the country’s position, Athens will not fall into the trap of aggravation that Turkey is trying to impose.
In an interview with SKAI radio on the occasion of the new frenzy of Tayyip Erdogan, Mr. Dendias noted the peculiar way in which Turkey sometimes negotiates “outside the usual diplomatic practice”, but added that “we will not explain “We refer to Mr. Erdogan with respect, as befits all his leaders,” he said.
“We do not follow the sharpness, nor do we react in a way that the other side will impose. We have our own positions. We will not fall into the trap of escalation, if we judge it, we will escalate because the Greek government decides it “, the Foreign Minister added and added that the Turkish provocation is an absolute documentation of the Greek arguments,” confirms what we say “, noted Mr. Dendias .
Mr. Dendias, when asked if there is a field for Greek-Turkish dialogue, clearly stated that “dialogue with a regime of insults has a difficulty, to put it elegantly.” He explained that it is not only the insults, but of course the violations of the Turks, noting that “there can be no dialogue when we have overflights” and added “We will not tolerate crime, we will defend international law and promote Turkish delinquency to show our partners that Greece is under threat. “
The message of power of the Minister of National Defense
In this climate, a message in all directions for the deterrent power of the Armed Forces of our country but also for the expansion of the international alliances of Greece with a defense footprint, sent from an event of the School of Naval Trials attended by the Minister of National Defense Nikos Pangiotopoulos
“Today, the Armed Forces are, through their constitutional role and mission, a guarantor of the territorial integrity of our country,” said the Minister of Defense, referring to the external threats and challenges for the country that are always present, as they were and during Thousands of years of our history, he noted that “just as the” Navy Movement “had direct political and social consequences, both at home and abroad, so we on the one hand strengthen, and this proves daily, the already capable and “On the other hand, we are expanding our international alliances with a defense, above all, a footprint”.
Mr. Panagiotopoulos referred to the difficult situation we are going through and as he said many values may, possibly, be exposed to risks. “But the integrity, security and independence of the country, as well as the Republic itself, can certainly not be exposed to any danger. The Republic, ladies and gentlemen, is not in danger. With its guarantors, the Greek Armed Forces, all Greeks can we feel both proud and safe, “he concluded.
Turkey’s reaction to pressure is well known
It is a common secret, however, that “every time the Turkish president feels that the Greek prime minister is one step ahead of him, he reacts in this way personally”, commented the internationalist, ND MP Tassos Hadjivassiliou, emphasizing that Greece will continue to defend its strong national law “even this does not like Mr. Erdogan” because as he explained “we have a policy of principles and positions, we have strong alliances, we are based on international law and we are not going to enter into the logic of rhetorical confrontation with the Turkish leadership”
Explaining the reasons for Turkey’s insanity, Mr. Hadjivassiliou said: “The reasons are clear. It is not only the energy infrastructure that will make Thrace an energy security provider in the Balkans, but Alexandroupolis and Evros in general are evolving into an alternative to the Bosphorus, a safe and reliable passage for Allied forces. in Turkey and that is why we see the recital fake news and unfamiliar expressions by the Turkish President in the last days “he concluded.
The government is closely monitoring Turkey’s new verbal crescent, in conjunction with violations in the Aegean and Evros, as well as a new attempt to curb immigration, and has begun briefing NATO and the EU on any illegal and destabilizing actions.
