The TV network Haber Global reported: “The Prime Minister of Greece Mitsotakis stated that he aims to talk with Turkey and resolve the problems within the framework of international law. But Mitsotakis said that he will not discuss the issue of the sovereignty of the Aegean islands. have militarized illegally against the terms of the Treaty of Lausanne.

Mitsotakis, on the one hand, sent a message of dialogue, but on the other, he clarified that he is not willing to compromise on issues on which there is no agreement.

He stated that the issue of questioning the sovereignty of the Aegean islands, which have been militarized against the treaties, is not up for discussion. He said that ‘this issue is not on the negotiation table’. Mitsotakis argued that Turkey wants to approach Europe, however he emphasized that ‘the road from Europe goes through Greece'”.

Turkish media: “US will not approve F-16s if Erdogan does not approve Sweden’s NATO membership”

“Ankara will delay the issue of Sweden. “Biden will not meet Erdogan if he does not say ‘yes’ to Sweden,” the Turkish media reports.

Ali Cinar, a correspondent for the HABERTURK TV network, said: “In Washington, the attitude of waiting prevails. There is the following climate.. the US should give the green light to the F-16 issue after the Turkish Parliament approves Sweden’s accession to NATO. President Erdogan states that this cannot be accepted. We are not seeing a warm climate. Everything will depend on Turkey’s steps. At the G-20, there was no meeting between President Biden and President Erdogan. There was a conversation on foot. There is the expectation of a future visit to the White House, of course the climate is this will happen if Turkey approves Sweden’s accession to NATO. But the picture shows that Turkey will not move quickly on the issue of Sweden in NATO. he won’t take an immediate step he won’t give the green light..Well until the end of the year.US-Turkey relations will be in some intermediate phase, if not a crisis.

According to the director of the Milliyet newspaper “by 2028 the Greeks will have completely changed the balance in the airwaves of the Aegean”.

“Greece receives the Rafale, the F-16 Viper and the F-35, just as Turkey has the Tayfun,” he continues.

Ozai Sentry commented: “The premier fighter. Kaan will join the Turkish Air Force at some point but then it will be at least 7 or 8 years before we feel safe as they will have to be mass produced. But what is the situation in Greece? They have already received the used Rafale. They receive and upgrade F-16 Viper fighters. And in 2028 they will receive the first F-35s. In other words, in 2028, the balance in the Aegean will be completely broken. Of course, Turkey will not sit back. It has Tayfun missiles. Of course, I must emphasize that Greece has S-300 and Patriot anti-aircraft systems, but we can destroy their airports.”
