The Turkish Minister of Defense, Hulusi Akar, is now speaking openly about changing borders, finding that reasons about “violation of treaties” are coming to his head.
Incendiary reports about the islands continue in the Turkish press, as reported by SKAI’s Istanbul correspondent Manolis Kostidis. The Turkish mass media cultivate a climate against our country in the Turkish public opinion.
The publication of the Yeni Safak newspaper that states “23 islands are full of American weapons” is typical.
“In Ikaria anti-aircraft, in Lemnos F-16 and anti-tank, in Rhodes tanks and in Chios guns” claims the newspaper, with the Turkish media continuing to “create a climate” against our homeland.
At the same time, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar insisted yesterday Sunday that “the militarization of islands means that Greece is leaving the Lausanne and Paris agreements”. “What does this mean; That the Dodecanese granted by the Treaty of Paris and the islands granted by Lausanne are disputed, that is to say, it speaks of a change of borders” commented Manolis Kostidis.
“The only country that raises the issue of treaty abrogation is Turkey. It is the most dangerous thing for the wider region.”
