A Turkish “amok” against Greece is steadily escalating to a top level from Ankara.
By Penelope Galliou
Greece continues to deconstruct every Turkish absurdity and non-existent claim, faithful to international law and the law of the sea, but also continuing the strategy of informing our partners and allies about the escalation of the Turkish provocation.
A Turkish “amok” against GreeceÏ‚ which is continuously escalating day by day to a top level from Ankara.
Leading the crescendo of aggression once again is Tayyip Erdogan, who, speaking to a party organization in Kiziljahamam province, and anxious to win over the internal party audience, went so far as to directly challenge the sovereignty of the Greek islands by challenging the disaster and threatens to throw the Greeks into the sea!
«Our path today as in the past is ᾽᾽independence or death᾽᾽! As in the weakest in our most tired moment we faced those who had the support of the whole world and threw them into the sea, today with the same faith and will we will arrive to the goals of 2023 and we will approach the vision of 2053Said the Turkish president.
In his new delirium against Greece, he once again included “Greater Turkey”, once again questioning the sovereignty of the Greek islands.
He also turned against Greece’s partners and allies, failing to accept the support they provide to our country and accusing them of breaking promises over time.
«Those who unjustly accuse our country, except that they did not keep their promises, crowned those who commit illegal acts. There are countless examples of non-fulfillment of promises, from the borders of the “National Oath”, the Aegean islands, the reintegration of France and Greece in NATO to the accession of Greek Cypriots to the EU. This is not the keeping of the promises madeHe ended up dissatisfied with the international environment.
It was preceded by the resounding message of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias to Ankara during his speech at the annual general assembly of the BSE Peloponnese, making it clear that Greece is ready and strong to defend in any way its national rights and national sovereignty.
The Foreign Minister once again deconstructed the Turkish argument and the non-existent claims of Ankara, invoking the international law and the law of the sea, which the neighbor ignores, noting that the Turkish positions do not withstand any criticism and are manifestations of a renaissance. tries to impose its will by threatening its power against its neighbors.
He even told Turkey that “the policy of the gunners, the policy of Suleiman the Magnificent in the Mediterranean”, – as he characteristically said – belongs entirely to another era.
The Foreign Minister, however, did not express optimism for a change or improvement of the Turkish attitude, however, he opposed – according to Greece’s regular tactics – the Turkish absurdity, the power of our country, which is based on international law and the armed forces, sending a clear message of readiness. in the field of defending our sovereign rights.
In any case, Greece will continue to follow the rails of international law and the law of the sea, while at the same time it will intensify the marathon of information and internationalization of Turkish provocation and delinquency, on every occasion, and in every international step that will be given to the country.
In this context, the key dates in the next period are June 10, when the German Chancellor Olaf Solz will visit our country and will meet with the Greek Prime Minister, in the aftermath of Germany’s shift from the policy of equal distances to the Greek-Turkish, in support of Greek positions. It will also be preceded by the visit of German Foreign Minister Analena Berbok to Athens on June 8, which will immediately follow to Ankara.
The next milestone is the Summit of European leaders on June 23 and 24 in Brussels, where if Turkey does not change its behavior, it will be on the official agenda of the summit, while at the end of the month the eyes will turn to the NATO Summit in Madrid on June 28-30. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Tayyip Erdogan, Joe Biden and Emanuel Macron will coexist.
