Nicosia’s support for Israel does not benefit Cyprus and Greece, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned, saying characteristically: “The fire of the Middle East will come to you”, simultaneously putting the Greek islands in the frame, as broadcast from Istanbul Manolis Kostidis.

The Turkish foreign minister told Haber Turk: “We are facing a great threat and risk of expanding the conflict. As long as Israel’s genocide continues, this danger will continue, we have emphasized from the beginning. And now, especially, at the moment when Lebanon comes to the fore, the factors in Lebanon threaten the ‘Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus’. They act as harbingers. […]

On her subject Cyprus, we warned European and regional actors from the beginning, especially the ‘Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus’. This place has turned into a business hub…

After October 7, after the first operations started by Israel, we see in intelligence reports that the ‘Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus’ has become a base used by some countries, especially in operations against Gaza. That is, intelligence gathering operations and military flights are constantly carried out from there to Gaza.

When we put the issue on the agenda, they suddenly declared this place a logistics base for Gaza. And then we said that this logistics base is obviously an activity that hides the fact that it is actually a military base.”

The Greek islands

And he continued: “The fact that this place and the Greek islands are used for business in the Middle East will not benefit either the ‘Greek Cypriot Administration’ or Greece.” Our advice, what we said to the Greeks, is ‘stay away from these issues’, because when you get involved in this way in the ongoing wars in the Middle East, if you become part of them, the fire will come and find you. And we are also in the same geography, so [η φωτιά] he will come and find us.

Therefore, we convey to our competent interlocutors without any hesitation the conclusions we have drawn from observations we make based on data. They are also involved in various things, but all regional actors must realize that there is intense militarization there, and the possibility of something happening here in the region should be prevented.”

Celik: “The Aegean and Greece are on our agenda and our problems continue”

“However, we have a new Greek-Turkish cooperation for the joint candidacy in the OSCE”

OMER ÇELIK-EXP. JUSTICE AND DEVELOPMENT PARTY: Developments in the Aegean, relations with Greece are always on our agenda, as you know. Of course, the problems continue at the moment, but there is cooperation on a new agenda item and the process of dialogue between us continues at this point.

In the context of Turkish-Greek cooperation, a significant progress has been achieved with the submission of a joint candidacy to the OSCE. Ambassador Feridun Sinirlioglu was nominated as a candidate for secretary general of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and Greek diplomat Mania Telalian was nominated as a candidate for director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights. This is a result of the recently developed dialog.

A Milliyet columnist reports: “A new step in the normalization of relations between the two countries”

“However, the road to blocking the Cyprus veto goes through Athens.

Deniz Kilislioglu wrote: “In order to secure the support of the countries, Ambassador Sinirlioglu and Telalian will have many meetings until September, when the elections are to be held.

Turkey attaches particular importance to the support it will receive mainly from Russia. It is, moreover, obvious that the road to the possibility of blocking the ‘veto’ that will come from the ‘Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus’ (Republic of Cyprus), passes through Athens”.

“The US is equipping Alexandroupolis to build a wall against Turkey”

“They want to limit Turkey and send the Greeks against us”

TEVFIK KANDAN- EDITOR OF INDINLIC NEWSPAPER: Some are arming Greece. Like the USA, France and Israel. She. triad are equipping it. Of course the USA has some plans regarding Greece. They have chosen Alexandroupolis as a base and this is because they know that in the event of any tension between Greece and Turkey, the war will not be limited to the sea and to prevent Turkey from advancing towards the lands of Greece, they are arming this area and they turn it into a wall. As in the sea, they create various scenarios that hinder the Turks. In fact the US is predicting war between Greece and Turkey. As in 1920 they had sent the Greeks against the Turks, so in the Aegean now they want to do the same by sending them against us as they have a plan to limit and obstruct Turkey in the Aegean and the Southern Mediterranean. Because they don’t want to advance, the Turks are gathering weapons systems.
