The Turks were irritated by the response of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, while they are also annoyed by what Mike Pompeo reveals in his book
The Turkish media appear disturbed by the response Kyriakos Mitsotakis gave to the statements of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had declared: “Look Mitsotakis, you are talking right and left again. Know this very well: If you try to do something wrong, know that the mad Turks will do yurusi.”
As SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbulthe TV network Haber Global reports in a report:
“After Recep Tayyip Ernogan’s warning, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis increased his provocative rhetoric. Mitsotakis made contradictory statements. In contrast to his message in Davos that said “let’s sit at the table”, this time he declared that “Greece has no time to waste by engaging in a dialogue with nonsense”.
And he continues: “The Prime Minister of Greece again made scandalous statements. He stated that ‘those who say they will come overnight may suddenly wake up and find themselves in the harsh reality’ and emphasized that with the new aircraft the Greek airspace will be better protected”.
At the same time, the Turkish sites are talking about the provocative statements of the Greek Prime Minister: “Mitsotakis crossed the line”, “Mitsotakis continues not to digest the ‘one night we will come suddenly'”, “Mitsotakis scandalous statements”, are some of the headlines of reports.
National Council: Greece is increasing the tension – We will not accept a done deal
Meanwhile, yesterday the Turkish Security Council discussed, among other things, the issue of Greece’s weapons programs. In fact, the council in the announcement it issued states:
“Greece’s provocative actions and rhetoric and arming efforts will do nothing but increase tension in our region. It was strongly emphasized at the meeting that we will not accept any fait accompli that targets Turkey’s national security and interests.”
Nerves in Ankara over the book by the former US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo
At the same time, irritation prevails in the Turkish government for what former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo writes about Turkey.
The former US Secretary of State reveals that in the past he tried to break down the door of Erdogan’s office, while also referring to the fact that he visited the ecumenical patriarch without meeting any Turkish official wanting to show his support.
The response to Mike Pompeo and what he stands for came from Kalin, who says the former US Secretary of State is lying.
In its report, Haber Global states:
“In the news is the book by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He confessed that during the visit of the then vice president Mike Pence to Ankara, Pompeo himself tried to break the door of the Turkish presidency!
His term ended two years ago, but he continues to try to distort the effort and create impressions against Turkey. Former CIA Director and former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has published his new book.
Pompeo did not hesitate to explain his behavior which had nothing to do with diplomatic behavior. When Erdogan’s meeting with US Vice President Pence lasted longer than planned, Pompeo tried to get in and even pushed the door and “when I found out it was locked I told them I was going to break it down.”
The German magazine “Stern” “burns” Erdogan
Meanwhile, the German magazine Stern, with its article, characterizes Tayyip ErdoÄŸan as an arsonist, stressing that “in order to stay in power, he causes conflicts within Turkey, in Syria and possibly in Germany. While talking to the West and Putin, he is underestimating NATO.
At the same time, the magazine wonders if Erdogan will accept his defeat in the elections, implying that the Turkish president will try to stay in power in any way, even if he loses the elections.
