It is recalled that a few days ago, Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened our country with militarized islands.
“It is impossible for us to remain silent about the military activities that are being carried out in violation of the agreements on the islands with a demilitarized regime. After all, we brought this issue to the UN. We will continue to keep it up to date in the future. However, if Greece continues this work, of course, we will do this warning at the highest level, whatever is needed. Because, as you know, the issue of islands is always controversial. They may force us to bring up these controversial issues. That is why my Minister warned them at a low level so that they do not force us to open these issues for discussion. “And he did well,” he said characteristically.
Of course, this statement caused estrong reaction of the Minister of Foreign Affairswho replied that “Turkey chooses at this time that NATO must show its unity in the face of defending the special integrity of Ukraine, chooses to launch threats against Greece, and questions its very presence and commitment with NATO and the UN Charter of Fundamental Rights “.
