“Obviously there is no intent here. Due to a technical problem, the entry of a “Greek citizen” into our country was delayed,” he even stated
He called it a “technical problem” on Tuesday seven-hour detention of Apostolos Tzizikostas the Turkish foreign minister in Smyrna Mevlut Cavusoglu. However, as SKAI’s Istanbul correspondent Manolis Kostidis points out, immediately after reporting on the “technical problem” of the “Greek citizen” as he described Mr. Tzitzikostas, he actually threatened to future bans entry of Greek officials to the neighbor, essentially recognizing that the incident with Apostolos Tzizikostas was deliberate!
“Obviously there is no intent here. Due to a technical problem, the login was delayed”Greek citizen” in our country. After solving this technical problem, the Greek citizen was allowed to enter our country” the Turkish foreign minister initially stated. However, he interpreted:
“It has nothing to do with the incident in Izmir… However, there are certain prohibitions that Greece has knowingly implemented. We have warned the Greek authorities about this matter. If the ban on entering Greece against some of our officials continues, we will respond” he interpreted.
“Zizikostas on SKAI: My reservation was an artificial “error””
Convinced that his seven-hour detention in Smyrna was not a technicality, but an artificial error, in the context of the barrage of Turkish provocations, the Regional Governor of Central Macedonia told SKAI on Monday Apostolos Tzizikostaswarning that in Turkey the deep state has become too strong, and the country is sliding to the brink, probably of no return.
As Apostolos Tzitzikostas emphasized in his decision to leave, in a mission abroad we do not represent ourselves abroad, but the Greeks, and I will not accept any insult at the expense of any Greek, ever. For me, the dignity of Greeks is non-negotiable.
“There is no mistake or synonym… They underestimate our intelligence and convince no one… This is not a technical error, it was an artificial error. In the context of the challenges was this incident, it seems that in Turkey the deep state has become much stronger in recent years, there is a slippage in the extremes of Turkey, I am afraid there is no return this road, road which deepens the gap between Turkey and the EU» said Apostolos Tzizikostas. This time they personified it, and even to an official who was visiting the country, he noted, not with his Greek, but with his European identity.
However, he clarified that “the mayor of Istanbul Mr. Imamoglou and the mayor of Smyrna stood by my side, their attitude is indeed remarkable, they contacted me to express their anger and sorrow”.
No reason has been given, he observed, why there was a ban on me. In this context, he asked to concern not only Greece, but also the EU, the strengthening of the deep state in Turkey.
