New threats from Turkish president invoking Tayfun missile – ‘If you’re wrong, the crazy Turks will move on’
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched new threats against Greece. Repeating his provocative rhetoric, he once again invokes the Turkish Tayfyn missile and, as Sky’s correspondent, Manolis Kostidis, states: “There is a strong Turkey. Turkey produced a missile called Tayfun. What if this hits Athens? We have no such problem, be smart. If you militarize the islands, will we stand still? Mitsotakis knows well that if you try to make a mistake, the crazy Turks will come. If you act smart, we have no business with you.’
Earlier, Erdogan had commented both on yesterday’s statements by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Davos that we will not go to war with Turkey, as well as the Economist magazine’s cover story about Erdogan.
As long as Greece equips the islands, it is not implementing the Treaty of Lausanne, said Erdogan, even commenting on the yesterday’s statements by the prime ministerKyriakou Mitsotakis from Davos.
Erdogan said: “Mitsotakis can say what he wants, but his statements are not enough to change the fate of the region. We find that the terms of Lausanne and what concerns the islands are not applied by the Greek officials.
There can be no militarization of the islands. But these islands are militarized.
And with the militarization of the islands they are taking steps contrary to the Treaty of Lausanne and the other treaties.
We too are taking the necessary steps, we are responding to the international times as necessary.
And they will do what they have to do.”
Erdogan also mentioned pthe Economist article, which harshly criticizes him for the policies he follows in his country, while it has provoked strong reactions:
“The future of Turkey is determined by the British magazine? My people decide that. And in Turkey what my people say is done. The fate of Turkey cannot be determined by the British magazine” Erdogan said.
