Constantinople, Manolis Kostidis

The issue of Greek islands was once again raised by the president of the Nationalist Action Party, Devlet Bakhtseli (MIR), on the occasion of… Despina Vandi. The Greek singer decided not to sing at her concert in Chesme of Izmir – which was organized by the Turkish Education Foundation (TEV) – because in its area concert there were flags, banners and posters of him Kemal Ataturk.

“The disrespect of a Greek singer to our flag and to his image Kemal Ataturk in Çesme, as well as the attempt to create deeds on the islands that are under our sovereignty, they push our limits and are an example of the logic of the invader and their primitive attitude” said Bakhceli menacingly.

“It has to be looked at carefully how good neighborly relations can exist with the neighbor who has this logic” he declared.

The nationalist politician and his partner Tayyip Erdogan he did not forget Nikos Dendias either: “in the past few days, the Minister of Defense of Greece (Nikos Dendias) visited the southern part of the island, and he made statements and tried to tarnish the Turkish Cypriots’ celebrations and said that they are “festives of shame”, he expressed the his annoyance at the presence of the Turkish Armed Forces… it is cowardice, audacity, and arrogance.”

Referring to the Occupied, he argued that “the international community must immediately put an end to the illegal isolation to which the Turkish Cypriot people have been condemned, which violates human rights. “The “Turkish Cypriot state” must be recognized.”

“What happened to Crete was attempted to happen to Cyprus as well. If the Turkish army had not intervened, the Turkish Cypriots would have suffered the same fate as the Turks of Kirkuk, what is happening in East Turkestan and Gaza,” Bakhceli claimed.
