Kalin’s “complaints” to the USA: You want calm, that is, to accept all Greek demands!

The complaint of Ankara about the… Philhellenic American attitude expressed by his representative Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ibrahim Kalin, speaking to the Turkish network 24 TV.

As reported by Manolis Kostidis, addressing US national security adviser Jake Sullivan in Istanbul last week, he told him: “you want calm, that is to accept all the Greek demands”.

“As our President says very well, Greece it is not a country that can compete Turkey” moreover, he arrogantly commented on the “right hand” of the Turkish president.

In other words, he added, Greece “it should have proper relations with Turkey on a ‘reasonable and legal basis’, recognizing its own strength and limits”. “When this is achieved, we can turn the Aegean, the Aegean islands, into an area where peace, tranquility, mutual economic relations, visits, tourism and all other areas develop, not conflicts” Kalin argued.

“The westerners are telling us again, of course with the propaganda of the Greeks, these violations of the airspace is a very important problem, don’t do these’. We say, look, what you call a violation of airspace is when our planes fly into our own airspace, Greece tells you that it is a violation of airspace, and you accept that as a given. But come to us. Come and see objectively, who is violating the airspace, who is militarizing the islands even though they have a demilitarized status? Some weapons and armored vehicles are sent to the islands that we call demilitarized islands, that is, in a civilian capacity. Take a look at it. I explained this in detail to Sullivan, the US national security adviser, last week. Look, you say there should be calm in the Aegean, no tension, etc. You define calm as acceptance of all Greek demands. And you set intensity as our every objection. Your point is wrong'” the Turkish official said.
