The Prime Minister’s distaste for Erdogan’s “fooling yoke with Greece” was applauded by those present at Vellideo last night
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis gave a stern response to the Turkish lionization yesterday from the stage of the 86th International Exhibition of Thessaloniki.
Drawing a red line in the escalating Turkish provocation, o Prime Minister sent a message to Ankara that such behaviors are not tolerated by Athens.
“As for Turkey’s provocative crescendo, I will say one thing: our response is our vigilance. Strengthening our Armed Forces. Our thriving economy. Our international alliances, but also our adherence to International Law. Above all, however, the unity of our people” characteristically said Mr. Mitsotakis.
He then called on Turkey to stop “the anecdotal fireworks for internal consumption” emphasizing that “they neither frighten nor intimidate us”.
And he continued to the applause of those present at Vellideio: “After all, the threats that the other side of the Aegean throws out are answered by a Greek word, which condenses the power of our Nation: no, Mr. Erdogan. And to say it in the language that perhaps he understands best: the dailikia yokes with Greece”.
War atmosphere in the Turkish press
At the same time, the Turkish press escalates the tension against Greece, as reported earlier today by the correspondent of SKAI in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis.
The front pages of the Turkish press, distorting the reality for another day, escalate the negative climate, claiming that Greece is seeking war.
There is also criticism of the visit of the President of the Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou to Kastelorizo, speaking of provocative action on the part of Athens.
In addition, reference is made to the incident of the Coast Guard chasing a vessel with the Comoros flag, which belonged to Turkish interests. The Turkish press is talking about “piracy in the Aegean”.
The Turkish provocations continue every day, while a response to the harsh statements of the Greek Prime Minister is expected in the next few days.
