New incendiary statements by the Turkish president – He asked the Greek people to give a message and a lesson through the elections to the rulers – Immediate reaction from Athens – Again threats of “disaster” from Erdogan
He “elevated” his provocative rhetoric against Greece to another level Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Turkish president did not hesitate to rudely intervene even in the upcoming elections that will be held in Greece in the next period. He called on the Greek people to “teach a lesson, through the democratic way, to the rulers”, meaning of course his government Kyriakou Mitsotakias they “run after adventures that will bring a disastrous end for the Greek people”.
More specifically he stated:
“It is a fact that our neighbor in the Aegean is not on the same level with us politically, economically and militarily. That is why it has its rightful place in Turkey’s strategic calculations. I hope that the Greek people will give the message and the lesson through the democratic path, to its rulers who run after adventures which will bring a catastrophic end for the Greek people “.
Government sources commented that it is about crude intervention of the Turkish president in the internal affairs of the country, as in essence, Erdogan is asking the Greek people to vote against Kyriakos Mitsotakis and elect another prime minister for the coming years.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s statements were not limited to the Greek elections. Employing the same incendiary rhetoric against Greece, he provoked the official reaction of the Greek government, which came through the mouth of Giannis Economos.
The statement of the government representative is more detailed:
“The continuous strengthening of Greece – militarily, diplomatically and financially – upsets Mr. Erdogan and leads him to statements that go beyond the excavations. Greek men and women have the historical education and patriotism that is required to keep their ears tightly closed to the pleas of those who plot against their homeland.
It is very obvious that the successes of the Prime Minister and the strengthening of Greece do not leave Mr. Erdogan alone. Although he would prefer a weak Greece, we do and will continue to do what our national rights promote. After all, the really strong do not need to chant it every three or so “.
Triple attack by the Turkish president
With a triple attack on the Prime Minister, but also the government, as well as “warnings” that “a catastrophic end” may come for the Greek people, Recep Tayyip Erdogan returned to his provocative rhetoric after the NATO summit, as reported by his correspondent , Manolis Kostidis.
Speaking at a military academy, and after his statements according to which “Turkey’s war with Greece is not a concern”and attack on the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Turkish President reiterated the accusations of violations of Turkish airspace by our country and suggested that Greece take “a lesson both from the developments in our region and from the events of a century ago.”
In particular, Erdogan said, referring to Greece: “To those who are constantly attacking us in our airspace, we are giving the necessary lesson where it should be, mainly with our air force, and we will continue to do so. No one should have any doubt that “We protect our land, sea and air borders in the West, without making the slightest concession to our rights in the Aegean and taking full advantage of the opportunities offered to us by international agreements.”
He continued with persuasions and “warnings”, saying that instead of resolving the differences between us through dialogue and negotiation, they are hiding under the skirts of others and we recommend to the administration of Greece, which is trying to sell a diary, to learn a lesson from both developments. in our region as well as from the events of a century ago “.
Erdogan even called on the Greeks to vote against the government, saying: “It is a fact that our neighbor in the Aegean is not on the same level with us politically, economically and militarily. That is why it has its rightful place in Turkey’s strategic calculations. I hope that the Greek people will give the message and the lesson through the democratic path, to its rulers who run after adventures which will bring a catastrophic end for the Greek people “.
