Erdoğan’s intervention is unacceptable – does he think the Greeks will be moved?
Regarding the open intervention of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in the internal politics of Greece, the Minister of the Interior emphasized that it is obviously and self-evidently absolutely reprehensible and indecent and that he got the response he needed from the entire political world.
“What I don’t understand is what Mr. Erdogan is trying to achieve in the sense that he thinks he is so popular in Greece, so if he says to vote against Mitsotakis, will the Greek citizens be moved by Erdogan’s appeal? And will they rush to vote against him? I don’t understand both the logic and the expediency”, emphasized Mr. Voridis.
