The Turkish media ended it – They target Nikos Dendias for the meeting with Zelensky – They characterize the visit of the PtD to Samothraki as a challenge
The Greeks are violating Turkey’s airspace and harassing, the Turkish Defense Minister claimed in interviews with Turkish newspapers Hulusi Akar and completed: “We don’t harass the Greeks on the airwaves or at sea if they don’t do something,” he said.
He elaborated: “At the meeting we held at the request of NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, we handed over the documents regarding the harassment and violations committed by Greece. And we said in that meeting ‘we assure you that we do not harass them in the air or at sea, without being harassed or violated by the Greeks’. We emphasized that there is definitely a precedent. We told them that they have come as far as Dalaman, Didi and Datsa and are violating the airspace of our mainland country, look at it from that angle.”
As the SKAI correspondent broadcasts from Istanbul, Manolis Kostidisfor islands Akar repeated the familiar positions saying that Turkey wants dialogue, but the islands must be demilitarized;
“We believe that the Greek-Turkish problems can be solved, even if they cannot be solved, they can be kept under control and that we must solve them and manage them in a way that does not harm our countries, the region and NATO.
You militarized the islands even though the 12th and 14th articles of the Lausanne and Paris Agreements clearly state that these islands cannot be militarized.
You have us facing the paradox of 6 miles of territorial waters and 10 miles of airspace.
Nevertheless, we say let’s sit down and talk. Others talk about Greece. We say let’s sit and talk to each other. The islands must be demilitarized as part of the treaties. This is completely contrary to the conditions.
Moreover, it must be seen that the efforts to arm Greece on the mainland or in the islands are a futile effort and the greatest damage is to the welfare of the Greek people.”
Turkish media attack in Dendia
Turkish media are targeting Foreign Minister Nikos Dendia for his statements to Zelenskiy about Turkey yesterday. They also consider the flights of Greek fighters to Xanthi and the visit of the President of the Republic to Samothrace a challenge.
The TV network Haber Global reported: “Athens showed in one day with three consecutive steps that it does not aim to reduce the tension. Greek fighter jets and helicopters carried out low flights over the ‘Turkish’ villages in Xanthi, Western Thrace. At the same time the The President of Greece visited one of the islands which must be demilitarized, opposite the Dardanelles.
He participated in the liberation ceremonies from the Ottoman Empire, visited military units and, without naming names, targeted Turkey. Again today Nikos Dendias during his visit to Kyiv made a statement with an increased dose of provocation.
He said to Zelensky ‘no one can understand you better than us, on our eastern border we have a neighbor who threatens us with war, who claims that our lands belong to him and constantly threatens us stressing that ‘we will come suddenly one night'”.
Meanwhile, Russia-Turkey negotiations for a second nuclear power plant have begun. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he asked Putin to start the project. The nuclear power plant Akkugiou it will be operational within 2023 with Russian funds.
At the same time, yesterday the Turkish president referred to his agreement with Putin for the creation of a natural gas transportation hub, saying that “as the Russian president said, “Europe can get Russian gas from Turkey. He added that “with the help of God, Turkey does not have a gas problem, but Europe is anxiously searching”.
Erdogan said to the cheers of his supporters: “Europe is anxiously looking for gas. With God’s help, Turkey has no such problem. With the latest developments, Turkey will also become a hub for natural gas. In our last meeting with Mr. Putin we had the same views, so we will create a hub from the gas that will come from Russia. And as Putin himself said, “Europe can get gas from Turkey”.
