“Ah Ah! If Sultan Ahmed Square had a language and could speak. From the obelisk that is there in front, we all referred to the day when we will open Hagia Sophia. God called us to open it. I thank him! Will there be more like this? If God wills it will be done. It is enough for us to be united, strong, strong, fraternized and all together to be Turkey” he said characteristically.

In addition, Erdogan returned to inflammatory rhetoric, unleashing new threats.

“After the losses a century ago we are fighting to rise again” said the Turkish president.

He added that “we cannot turn our backs on the geography of our heart” and added: “We cannot leave out anyone who turns his gaze to us.”

“What we seek after the losses a century ago, is to fight to rise again. When we work to uplift our own people, we cannot leave out any man who turns his eyes and heart to us. We cannot turn our backs on anything and anyone in the geography of our heart.”

Challenges from Cavusoglu as well

For his part, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mevlut Cavusoglu said: “We are obliged to defend our rights in the Aegean, the Mediterranean, Libya and Cyprus. Most problems are caused by the other side.”

Alexandroupoli and Crete disturb Turkey.

The presence of US forces and the aircraft carrier cause skepticism in Ankara.

Military analyst Mete Jarrar said: “Alexandroupoli is here and as time goes on it is turning into a base level. The Greeks are increasing their forces, the Americans are expanding the port, you know they can’t approach all the ships now, that’s why expansion work has started. Alexandroupoli is heading to another level.”

HURRIYET journalist Hade Firat said: “With the 20 escort ships, the US aircraft carrier is here to rest, while there are so many other places, all over Greece there are all these bases and trainings as well as the supply of weapons systems. Does the USA also consider as a real threat the expression “suddenly we will come one night”, which Greece also read as a threat?
