The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, came to Prague and did not listen to his complaints, neither in the security panel, which he participated in, nor in the bilateral contacts, which he had throughout yesterday, according to information , from the Greek side.
The mood he received from his interlocutors was the recommendation to stop this specific tactic and follow the path of dialogue on the basis of International Law, according to the same information.
The Greek delegation was aware that he had asked to speak during the dinner. During his intervention, he appeared negative regarding the EU’s handling of Turkey and, as he is not used to in such cases, he attacked Greece.
The Greek government points out that the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, there was no way he would remain speechless and to leave unanswered what the Turkish president said.
According to the Greek side, the response of Kyriakos Mitsotakis seems to have surprised Recep Tayyip Erdogan who is used to monologues, something – which according to the same people – was also reflected in the “other invitation” of the press conference he gave later, during the in which in other parts he threatened that “we will come at night” and in others he said that he does not question the sovereignty of the Greek islands and that Greece is the one that does not come to the dialogue.
The same persons predict that the prime minister will give answers to his statement by attending the informal Summit of the 27 European leaders in Prague, and also later at the press conference.
The Greek government points out that Greece’s positions are known and that no one can question Greek sovereignty over the islands of the Greek Aegean.
Members of the Greek mission in Prague stressed that “Greece does not provoke. But when challenged, he will respond, as Kyriakos Mitsotakis did at the leaders’ dinner. Everyone saw what was posted. Mr. Erdogan left the Summit more isolated than he came.”
