“We are not opening a dialogue with the untold and the irrational,” said the Prime Minister from the ONED Congress – Celik’s provocative statements
By Penelope Galliou
The Prime Minister’s visit to the Eastern Aegean islands of Kos Pserimos and Astypalea, as well as the support of allies and partners of the Greek positions after the tactic of internationalization chosen by Athens, functioned as a flammable liquid in the inflammatory provocation of Turkey. Twenty-four hours before the highly symbolic Prime Minister’s visit to the Aegean islands, but also the new strict messages of the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the non-negotiable and unwavering defense of the sovereign rights of our country, the Prime Minister raging again against Greece, with “ups and downs” of delirium that ranged from threats of “very difficult situations” to so-called advice for the good of Greece!
The strict answer came through the Greek Prime Minister from the podium of the 13th ONED Congressstaying in strict tones in Turkey that Greece does not open a dialogue with the unhistorical, the illegal and the irrational.
The new message Mitsotaki
Speaking to the youth of ND, the Prime Minister referred to the inflammatory provocation of Turkey, which is finally boomeranging against it, noting that “the neighbors are dealing with history and international law, but their every rhetorical, aggressive step turns into another step of theirs. “But we live in reality and we hope, along with their name, to change their logic. But we do not open a dialogue with the unhistorical, the illegal and the irrational”.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in contrast to the Turkish frenzy that has been escalating lately, exposed the Greek strategy that stands against this absurdity, emphasizing Greece’s firm adherence to international law, stable alliances and strong alliances. “True patriotism is not weighed in pompous slogans and is not measured by uniforms and fiestas. These were the ‘burning’ logics that failed. Today, the national interest requires firm alliances. And we have them. Strong defense. And we build it. And, of course, the ability to assert wherever and wherever our rights are always in line with international law, which is why we keep our doors closed to challenges but always open to debate, because that is the legal argument today. a big weapon “concluded the prime minister.
New delirium by Celik
It was preceded by the new delirium of Erdogan’s party spokesman Omer Celik, threateningly warning that “If Greece creates a situation that is against the law and changes the regime of sovereignty of the islands”, then “You will face very difficult situations,” said Omer Celik distorting the reality according to the popular tactics of Turkey and trying to present Greece as the outlaw of the region.
He also insisted on the unhistorical argument of Ankara that he invokes or ignores when they see the international treaties and continued the delirium in relation to the regime that governs the Greek islands. “The status of the islands is clear. These islands will be demilitarized. From the moment you militarize it, you change the status of the islands. “Changing the status of the island also means opening up for discussion on the status of sovereignty, as expressed in the Treaty establishing the current status of the island.” he said.
The representative of Erdogan’s party did not fail to reverse the reality in terms of the verbal aggression shown by Ankara, claiming that Greece is targeting Turkey.
“Greece’s statements aimed at Turkey and our president are unacceptable. With this aggressive propaganda, it can get nowhere. “The Greek government can not solve the problems by writing requests to other countries that are protesting for Turkey,” he said, calling on Athens to use careful language for the rights and interests of Turkey!
However, he failed once again to hide Ankara’s suffocating annoyance for Greece’s upgraded position internationally and the acceptance of its arguments and positions by our allies, even calling on Athens “to assess what other countries are expecting in return for support. that give her and understand that the most reliable way is to solve the problems at the table with Turkey!
The strict message of Panagiotopoulos
It was preceded by the new stern message of the Minister of Defense Nikos Panayotopoulos and the warning to Turkey not to dare military engagement with the simultaneous assurance to the Greek people that it must “feel absolutely safe, as our Armed Forces are present and present. dot”. “I have repeatedly stressed that tensions do not offer either side. It is our capabilities that discourage the other side from embarking on military engagement. This is because they know the heavy costs they would have to pay. “The Armed Forces are always on the alert, on alert and determined,” the minister said in an interview with the newspaper “TO MANIFESTO”.
Mr. Panagiotopoulos intervened that Greece will defend its sovereign rights and will face any intrusion, stressing that “the Turkish President is wrong if he thinks that the Greek Prime Minister will not defend the sovereign rights of our country or will not face the intrusion of territorial integrity of. Of course, we will not be the ones to cause any tension in the wider area. But it is now a familiar tactic of the other side, the Turkish President whenever he feels threatened or faces internal problems to cause tensions. Of course, he does not achieve anything with these challenges. It simply exposes itself to the international community and strengthens the quiver of Greek arguments.
Joint Front of Greek and Serbian Foreign Ministers Against Turkish Revisionism
As part of Athens’ tactic of not leaving any “step” unexploited and announcing Turkey’s provocation, Nikos Dendias during his official visit to Belgrade and the joint statements with Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic re-condemned the revisionist policy. the threats of Ankara. “Turkey is challenging Greek sovereignty in the Aegean islands by making baseless allegations. We completely reject these allegations and are determined to defend our interests. “Our interests are based on international law, the law of the sea, our interests are based on the Charter of the United Nations,” said Mr. Dendias.
Facts that the Serbian Foreign Minister did not leave unattended, taking a position on the side of Greece and stating that “The Republic of Serbia remains fully consistent in supporting the territorial integrity of Greece, on land and at sea, under international law, including the law of Nikola Selakovic clarified.
However, both the internationalization of the Turkish frenzy and the tour of the Greek Prime Minister in the islands of the Eastern Aegean, caused an uproar in the Turkish media that spoke about Mitsotakis show after the encouragement of the Europeans, but insisted on falsely presenting greek islands islets and rocky islets that have not been transferred to Greece through the treaties “!
Allegations that Greek analysts characterize as illegal, irrational, non-existent and unhistorical and attribute them to the difficult internal situation prevailing in Turkey, in a pre-election period, with Erdogan unable to “regain strength”, the economy and the Turkish pound to collapse and the opposition to wait “in turn” for the Turkish president for every wrong choice. A growing tension fueled by the internal rivalry of Turkish political forces, which is causing huge annoyance to Tayyip Erdogan and his government and leading him to vent his tension.
