He stressed that the tone had risen to an incredibly aggressive level lately, to the point that the Turkish Foreign Minister himself said that “your islands do not belong to you” by presenting maps from behind him.
Cautious about “Turn” that Turkey seems to be making towards Greeceappeared the Angelos Syrigos Professor of International Law and Deputy Minister of Educationexplaining on SKAI TV and the show “Simera” that “Unbelievable pressure” has been exerted in recent days in Ankara underground and behind the scenes.
“We welcome it but we are cautious”, stressed Mr. Syrigos, reminding that the tones had risen to an incredibly aggressive degreeto the point where the Turkish Foreign Minister himself says that “your islands do not belong to you” by presenting maps from behind him.
According to the professor, on the one hand we saw her meeting of the Ministers of National Defense and on the other the Ankara attacked Berlinfor a statement in favor of Athens in which the Turkish side claims, among other things, that “Greece flies over Turkish territory and violates Turkish national airspace.”
“If this is what I imagine, by overflights over Turkish territory, they mean the visits of Greek officials to eastern Aegean islands, to Greek territory; I can not understand what else they mean by ‘overflights’?” “Because the other time they said that something like this had been overdone, they meant it.” Mr. Syrigos stressed, adding that the Turks consider this a challenge.
He went on to say that if these two elements coexist, then it is only a matter of time before Turkish provocation returns. He added that the Greek side wants the tones to fall and I wish it did, but last time it was Turkey that chose to raise them.
