Discomfort prevails in Turkey for the US-Greece “Poseidon’s Rage 22” exercise, with the participation of 10 F-35s and 14 F-15s, in the wider area of Crete.

Why hasn’t Erdogan said anything about the Bahtceli map?
The opposition Turkish press comments that Devlet Bakhtseli created a political crisis with Greece by posing next to a map showing the Turkish half of the Aegean and Crete. At the same time, they point out that Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called on Erdogan to answer if this is an official Turkish position. In the pro-government press, the issue simply “disappeared”.
Indicative:
SOZCU Newspaper: “Bakhtseli’s photo caused a diplomatic crisis. Addressing Erdogan, Mitsotakis reacted strongly.”
CUMHURIYET Newspaper: “Mitsotakis reaction to Bakhtseli. Is this a provocation or your real goal.”
AVER GLOBAL TV report: “Athens was awakened by the map given to Devlet Bakhtseli by the youth organization of his party. Because the map shows the Aegean islands and Crete as Turkish. Greek officials accuse Turkey of raising tensions”
Regarding Erdogan’s “silence” to the extremes of his government partner, SKAI’s correspondent in Turkey, Manolis Kostidis he explained that if he comes out and says openly that this is not our position, he will have a problem with Bakhceli, while if he says that this is the official position of the Turkish government, then the whole EU will be up in arms, but also the USA and the F-16s will not never get them.
