Turkish president claims Greece is militarizing islands, violating Turkish airspace and harassing Turkey’s planes and fishermen – US senator warns of sanctions

There is no end to the anti-Greek delirium of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Turkish president is not content with threats and attacks against Greece, but distorts reality in a characteristic way, presenting Turkey as the victim who reacts.

In an interview with the state television network TRT, the Turkish president vehemently attacked Greece and argued that it provokes and violates Turkey’s maritime space, as well as fishermen.

As the SKAI correspondent from Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, reported, the Turkish president said:

“There is no explanation for Greece’s attitude towards Turkey. This attitude as well as false propaganda is against the allied spirit. Greece is troubled by Turkey’s rising profile around the world.

The Greek side remains helpless in the answers we give it. Greece is violating our airspace, harassing our aircraft and harassing our fishermen, raising the tension. Our air force responds to these hostile actions and will continue to respond.

Greece is militarizing the nearby islands, which are close to our shores, in violation of international treaties.

They panicked when we told about Tayfun. But why are you panicking? Aren’t we going to make our preparations? We built the Tayfun and it has a range of 560 kilometers. But I asked for a range of 1000 kilometers. Why the panic? Make it yourself and have it. Why are they bothered? We will not remain handcuffed to the actions taken against the security of our country,” he said.

Attack on the opposition for Greece and F-35

Earlier, the Turkish president had launched a simultaneous attack on the opposition and Greece. The Turkish president accused the opposition of serving the plans of Turkey’s systematic enemies by returning to the F-35 program, which includes conditions against Ankara. In other words, the Turkish president is implying that it was his choice, in the interest of his country, to withdraw from the state-of-the-art aircraft program and that the return planned by the opposition is against its national interests Turkey.

ErdoÄŸan talks about conditions that retreat from Turkey’s sovereign rights “Essentially they welcome those who are systematic enemies of Turkey” and adds “essentially they declare that they will give up efforts to protect our rights in Aegean and thus they send greetings to Greece”.

Swedish Foreign Minister: We did not sign these with Turkey

At the same time, Ankara is hardening its stance on the subject of Sweden’s NATO accession negotiations, putting forward more and more demands, while the Swedish minister revealed that the memorandum signed by Stockholm and Ankara did not include the restriction of freedom of expression .

Tobias Billström said his country is implementing the memorandum it signed with Turkey to get Ankara to give the green light for Sweden and Finland to join NATO, but that compromises on freedom of expression are not part of the memorandum.

Billstrom told the TT news agency that “religion is not part of the agreement” signed with Turkey.

The Swedish Foreign Minister emphasized that he understands the Turkish anger over the incidents, which although legal, were disrespectful. He added that it is now necessary for all sides to calm down and that talks with Turkey will continue.

The resounding response came from Washington with Senator Van Hollen warning Erdogan of sanctions if he continues the same tactic. “There is no way that the F-16s will be given to Turkey, if the ‘ok’ is not given for the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO. Turkey has not been a loyal ally for the most part and we see this in its reluctance to ratify the two Nordic countries’ NATO membership. If Erdogan persists in causing obstacles, we will need to consider the issue of sanctions.”

Tsavousoglou is also provocative: Greece violates the conditions on the islands

Mevlüt ÇavuÅŸoÄŸlu insisted on Ankara’s provocative stance on the Greek islands. “So when Greece e.g. violates the demilitarized status of the islands, this is a clear violation of the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 as well as the Treaty of Paris of 1947. I am sending a letter to the UN that it is a clear violation of the treaties,” he said, recalling the provocative Turkish letter of October.

Turkish opposition: Erdogan’s luxury palace and residences will be given to the people

Under the hammer” the Turkish opposition wants to take out valuable assets of the presidency acquired by Tayyip Erdogan.

“We will sell Erdogan’s aircraft, the palace will be closed, it will be handed over to the people, the presidency will be transferred to the old presidential palace,” declares the Turkish opposition, which has allied itself against the Turkish president and his government partner, nationalist Bakhceli.

The Turkish opposition is even talking about 13 aircraft, one of which costs the astronomical sum of 500 million dollars (!) which was given to him by the Emir of Qatar. Firefighting aircraft and other essentials will be purchased, it is emphasized.

“The presidency will return to the old presidential palace in Cankaya district. The presidential palace and all the luxurious residences and mansions will be given over for the use of the people. We will sell the aircraft that belong to the presidency and in their place we will buy firefighting aircraft,” said the vice-president of the Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) Ibrahim Canaktsi.

“When we win the elections, I will call the president’s associates and state officials, and say ‘I am Kemal and I am coming,'” said the chairman of Kemal Kilicdaroglu’s Republican People’s Party (CHP).
