“The status of the islands is clear. “These islands will be demilitarized,” said a spokesman for Erdogan’s party, the AKP.
New provocative statements from Turkey, this time by the representative of Erdogan’s party, AKP, Omer Celik.
Specifically, as broadcast by the SKAI correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, Celik said: “Now, can you still talk about peace and diplomacy when you are militarizing the islands, right under our noses? No way.
“When Turkey puts this issue on the agenda, all of them, from Mitsotakis to the aggressive foreign minister, try to express that Turkey’s stance is ‘very aggressive,'” he said.
“The status of the islands is clear. These islands will be demilitarized. From the moment you militarize it, you change the status of the islands. Changing the island’s status also means opening up for discussion sovereignty regimeas expressed in the Treaty establishing the current status of the island “.
For Mitsotakis’ visit to the islands
He also referred to Mitsotaki visit in Pserimos and Astypalea, trip that became the first topic in the Turkish press today.
Celik said: “It does not make sense, it means nothing more than to face his turmoil in domestic politics and some criticism in domestic politics.
It does something even more dangerous.
“I will raise this issue with NATO and ensure that our NATO allies take a stand against Turkey,” he said.
NATO is not an organization that would fall into the trap of such absurdity, such inconsistency.
“Because the issue of security is not open to misbehavior.”
