“They cannot be trusted. They are not honest,” Cavusoglu argued for the Greek government
The foreign minister of Turkey made new delusional and threatening statements Mevlut Cavusoglu. He repeated the threats to the islands and at the same time, as reported by Sky’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, he claimed that Greece is a “tool of others”, but he must not forget that he has “provoked” Turkey in the past and “has taken answer”.
In particular, he said:
“Turkey must protect the interests of the Turkish Cypriots while simultaneously protecting its own interests. We do everything to protect our rights and interests in Eastern Mediterranean, on our continental shelf and in the Aegean. After establishing the boundaries of our continental shelf, we have not allowed any ships to enter our continental shelf. ‘Greek Cyprus’ and Greece wanted to bring their ships or the ships of other countries to our continental shelf 9 times in the last 1 year, we did not allow them. We protect these places.”
“There are problems in the Aegean that have been going on for years. There are problems that are interrelated. We said to Greece ‘Come, let’s solve these problems through dialogue’. Recently, when our President hosted Mitsotakis for lunch in Istanbul on March 14, he told him these things. He told our President ‘Let’s not involve third countries. Let’s solve these problems among ourselves. Let’s increase diplomacy. We need to solve these problems. We are neighbors’. What happened; Within 2 weeks, Turkey has been criticized around the world, especially by the US Congress, an ally, an ally in NATO, ‘Not us [σσ. τους] give F-16’… Their hostile policy against us increased even more.”
“They cannot be trusted. They are not honest. When they see you, they immediately hug you, we are friends, we are friends, we are neighbors. Go inside immediately for a formal meeting. At the very first sentence, before anyone speaks, they stand up and malign Turkey. We have seen their dishonesty at every table, in every meeting, at every step. They are also adept at making the most unfair situation sound like the most right one. But when we, as Turkey, began to tell the whole world about the violation of the equipment of the demilitarized islands in the letter we wrote to the UN, as well as about Turkey’s fair positions on other issues, this time they made a fuss. “Turkey is eyeing our territory. It’s starting to infringe on our sovereignty.” The deals are clear. You can’t militarize these islands, bro. When you militarize them, you break the agreement given under that condition. Speak to me in the language of the law. Don’t go and slander right and left, don’t tell lies, don’t become a tool of others. When I said this, unfortunately, the biggest criticism came from within. They said that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Turkish Republic should not speak in such a tone, that we should not hurt Greece. I mean, we said that Greece creates problems. That tone was not appropriate…”
“They will almost say that Greece is right. We explain all our arguments in the language of the law. But Greece is becoming a tool of others. He is constantly trying to challenge us. And we remind them. You have challenged us in the past. You got your answer, the bill was heavy” he added defiantly.
