In a speech, as reported by SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis, Kilicdaroglou accused Erdogan of “making deals in Greece”, but doing nothing for the “occupied” islands.
Extreme rhetoric from Erdogan’s great opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who accuses the Turkish president of being submissive to Greece and accuses him of “now doing the bullying”.
In his speech to his parliamentary group, the president of the Republican People’s Party, as broadcast by the SKAI correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidisaccused him Erdogan that “he makes dailikia in Greece”, but for the islands “under occupation” he does nothing.
“I made a speech here in 2017. I said that Greece has occupied 18 of the Aegean islands. I tell him you always have something to say about what I say. Well, say something about these islands’. I tell you ‘make a clear proposal for the occupied islands’. He could not even articulate sentences. Now it behaves differently. He says things like ‘do not annoy me’, no ‘I will come’ or ‘I will leave’, ‘I will do business in Syria’, etc. If it is to do something, do it brother. What are you shouting? “I know you can not, and you know it.”
Continuing, Kilicdaroglu said: “When the islands were militarized, the professors told you, the soldiers told you, the retired officers, politicians told you. They said they were bringing weapons to the islands. This is against the Treaty of Lausanne. ‘ He did not make a single kick. “Now he’s the bully.”
He also referred to Cyprus saying: “Do you know what is more painful? We do not recognize the ‘Greek Cypriot administration’. (Republic of Cyprus). There is a NATO meeting in Spain. THE Mr did not object, he will now eat at the same table with them. He will eat in the same room. It does not even say ‘we do not recognize them, but if they come, the’ TRNC ‘should be here’. He can’t even say that. Is this man ruling the state? In the name of God, does this man protect the interests of the nation?
At the height of his extreme rhetoric, Kilicdaroglu said: “They are afraid that someone will get angry with us. We will not be afraid. We were told for a while ‘come on, come on, come on’. Because of Cyprus. Ezevir said ‘I’m coming’. Ecevir and Erbakan went and took the ‘Turkish part’ of Cyprus. It is done. Did they shout? Did they say we were coming? No. They did what was necessary. In our tradition it is to do what is necessary. “If you shout and scream, nothing happens.”
