After describing in just 90 seconds the Turkish provocations against Greece, but also the attitude of Ankara in general, he turned to Anthony Blinken and asked him: “How would you characterize such a country?”.
“I guess I’d call her a challenging ally,” Blinken replied.
“I call the country Turkey and I don’t believe that such a country deserves to have F-16. I don’t know what messages we are sending to the world. How can he do all these things and then be able to get American military aid,” Bob Menendez said afterwards.
