Detailed report on when Greece will get the green light for the F-35 from the US, hosted by the Turkish media.

As he points out the SKAI correspondent from Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, the Turkish media reveal that not only Greece will get the F-35s but that this will happen within 3-4 weeks. According to their report, the US Congress will not wait for the issue of F-16s in Turkey, but will give the “green light” for their sale regardless. This is the absolute support of the USA to Greece and Cyprus.

“Yes, the US State Department says that it always sees the dialogue between Greece and Turkey in a positive light. But in the last 5 years we find that the Biden government, but not only it, gives serious financial and military support to Greece and Cyprus. We saw the speech of the Prime Minister of Greece to Congress, as well as his magnificent reception at the White House. that is, we see that in the Greece-Turkey equation, the USA supports Greece and there is no change. Also in Congress there is no change. Let me tell you that the Congress is ready to give them. F-35 in Greece. The Biden administration was considering whether the deliveries of F-35s to Greece and F-16s to Turkey would be announced at the same time. But as they tell me from Congress, it seems that the matter of F-35s in Greece will be completed within 3-4 weeks”, its correspondent in Washington, Ali Cinar, characteristically told Haberturk.

Incredible challenge from the president of the Turkish parliament

At the same time the president of the Turkish parliament proceeded to an incredible challenge during his speech from the floor of the conference of presidents of the European Parliament.

Specifically, he stated that the Greek Cypriots are the invaders in Cyprus and that Turkey is not the invader, raising the tone.

“Indeed there is an invasion in Cyprus, but the invader in Cyprus is not Turkey, but the Greek Cypriot side that abolished the legal Republic of Cyprus which was founded in 1960 and provided for the presence of the Turks and Greek Cypriots. Invaders are the Greek Cypriots who conquered the Republic of Cyprus” characteristically commented Nouman Kurtoulmos and added:

“Between 1963 and 1974 the existence of the Turkish Cypriots had decreased. They had gotten to the point where they couldn’t survive on an island they were partners with. Turkey, as a guarantor country, could not monitor the efforts of the “Union” groups to abolish the Republic of Cyprus. And today the Turkish side is the one that accepts all international treaties. Turkey accepted the Annan plan. The Turkish side is the one that does not want the differences to continue”

Ankara to the United Nations: “Your interlocutor should be the TRNC”

At the same time, the security council of Turkey under Erdogan met yesterday. In the statement he issued later, he states that the “peacekeeping force on the island must have a written agreement with the ‘TRDB’.

Specifically, the statement states: “The double standards-based attitudes and actions of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force against the sovereignty of the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ (TRNC) and against the most basic humanitarian needs of the Turkish Cypriots are incompatible with the obligation of impartiality and damage its reputation [σ.σ.Ειρηνευτικής Δύναμης]. In this context, it was stated that the need has once again arisen to put on a legal basis through a written agreement with the ‘TRNC’ authorities the activities of the peacekeeping force in the TRNC. — It was pointed out that Turkey will continue to guarantee the security and peace of Turkish Cypriots within the framework of its rights as derived from international law and treaties.”

Turkish analysts: “We absolutely need the F-16s”

Also, Turkish analysts refer once again to Turkey’s need for F-16s. As Manolis Kostidis reports, they reveal that by 2028 and 2035 the F-16s will reach their age limit.

“Why do we insist on F-16s? Do we need these aircraft? Right now,” says Hurriyet newspaper director Ahmet Hakan.

“Look. Until 2028, 2030 and 2035 the life limit of our F-16 is reduced. We have no problem if we consider the issue if we include the rest of the weapons systems that our country has. But if Turkey wants to take an aggressive action, then the situation is critical”, said the member of the center of civil and military research Asam, Erai Gützluer and adds “Yes, but we produce Kaan, Hurjet, to Kizilema. Will these not satisfy our needs? No. To put it plainly, no, they do not satisfy our needs. We need the F-16s. Let me explain, the two Kaan fighters will be delivered in 2028 to the Turkish armed forces. The first delivery will take place in 2028. We need about 200 aircraft. They say 2 per month will be produced but it will take at least another 100 months.
