Turmoil prevails in Turkey after the sentence imposed on the mayor of Turkey, Ekrem Imamoglu.

The Turkish media are commenting on the prosecutor’s appeal, saying that he considered the sentence to be too low, as SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbul.

Ekrem Imamoglu said: “No, no, they will not escape so easily. The six leaders who will expel the government are all here! Here is. They (the government) are sick, I tell you clearly, they are allergic to the will and power of the people.”

The president of the Republican People’s Party, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, said: “The decision they made for Ekrem Imamoglu cannot be accepted. It has caused a wound in the conscience of the people. Let them know, despite the decision they made for Mayor Ekrem, we will not give up a single point.”

The target is Crete

In addition, Turkish analysts comment that “Greece is turning Crete into an impregnable fortress”.

“The Turkish-Libyan memorandum is at risk. Turkey may gather naval forces south of Crete”

The academic and member of the ASAM Research Center, Erai Gotschluer, said: “The reason the Greeks want to make Crete an impregnable castle is specific. Down here is the limit, the border of the maritime areas of responsibility agreement that we have signed with Libya. They want to be cunning, increase the territorial waters to 12 miles to increase their EEZ area as well. But they will violate the EEZ of Libya which has been agreed with Turkey”.

And he continued: “Turkey will not allow this. Turkey can say that ‘I have a military cooperation agreement with Libya’. The government of national unity of Libya will tell the UN that I do not accept this and will communicate it to the UN, if necessary. In fact, there can also be a concentration of naval forces here as Turkey is behind.”
