The Turkish media are commenting that “Athens will send tanks to the border with Turkey”, as SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbul
Soltz’s visit to Athens and the subsequent statements by the chancellor and the Greek prime minister caused great irritation in Turkey.
The Turkish media they particularly stand by what he mentioned yesterday at the press conference Kyriakos Mitsotakisthat the Greek armed forces judged that the German Marder tanks should head for the Evros and not the islands.
The above clarification of the prime minister caused the irritation of Ankara, even though it was clearly emphasized that the islands do not pose a threat to anyone.
The Turkish media reported on the matter that “Athens will send tanks to the border with Turkey”, as SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbul, with the Hurriyet newspaper commenting that Soltz supported the Greek positions.
The Milliyet newspaper reports that “Greece is playing with fire”, while Sabah claims that “Greece returned to factory settings, blamed Turkey and Soltz supported the Greek positions”.
The Haber Global television network reported: “The Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, met with Mitsotakis in Athens and of course Turkey was also on the agenda. Soltz supported the positions of Athens which militarizes the islands against the international treaties. Mitsotakis announced that the tanks that will be received from Germany will be transferred to Alexandroupolis, which is located on the border with Turkey.”
He also said: “Mitsotakis once again attacked Turkey and claimed that the militarized islands are not a threat to anyone”.
Joint exploitation
Ankara proposes joint exploitation of hydrocarbons in Cyprus pointing out yesterday’s signing of the historic agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
“As Lebanon and Israel have agreed, so can the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots” is the meaning of the announcement issued by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“We welcome the maritime demarcation agreement signed today (October 27) as a result of US-brokered indirect talks between Lebanon and Israel.
The agreement provides for a joint operation and revenue sharing model, through a third party, for certain hydrocarbon license areas on the continental shelf of the two parties. This model, which has similar examples in the world, can create a positive precedent for the region and especially for Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots.”
