The Turkish Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, is pulling the strings.
Speaking to reporters, the Turkish Defense Minister unleashed war threats against Greece in case our country extends its territorial waters to 12 miles.
“If you increase your territorial waters to 12 miles, does that mean that we have to apply for a permit to enter international waters? The wolf, even though he is king of the sheep, does not make such a distribution. One way or another, you did it 6 miles, glorify your situation and stay there. Do not miscalculate by saying “now is the time for the 12 miles”. This miscalculation was made by others, stating “after July 15, this army can do nothing”. But a month later, the army launched Operation Shield of the Euphrates and, after hand-to-hand fighting, defeated ISIS. So do not try us in this matter and do not get into such an adventure. “I hope they do not make such a mistake,” Hulusi Akar said provocatively.
The answer of Athens
Athens reacted immediately, noting that Greece is not relinquishing its inalienable right to self-defense, but also to extending its territorial waters to 12 miles. In fact, Foreign Ministry sources reminded SKAI of the invitation it sent to SKAI to the Turkish side to actually prove its faith in international law by recalling the casus belli and acknowledging the non-existence of the Turkish-Libyan memorandum.
