Fear of mass landings of migrants in the Aegean ordered by Erdogan to hurt tourism

Recep Tayyip Erdo .an is pulling the strings with Ankara’s stance continuing to be extremely provocative towards Greece.

Turkey continues its aggressive stance towards Greece with the latest statements of the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, surpassing all previous ones.

The presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the United States in the past few days was the last straw for the Turkish president, who spoke harshly about the Prime Minister of Greece, stating that he would not speak to him again.

“I no longer recognize Mitsotakis. I will not talk to him anymore. “We agreed not to include third countries in our dispute with him, but he went to the US and criticized Turkey.”, Were his statements which, if nothing else, intensify Turkey’s aggressive attitude towards our country.

At the same time, the challenges continue in practice with the flight of Turkish aircraft to Alexandroupolis, adding more oil to the fire.

According to Sportime, the biggest fear at the Maximos Palace after Erdogan’s statements is the coordinated landing of refugees and migrants from Turkish shores in the Aegean islands, in retaliation for Mitsotakis’s statements to the Senate and the US House of Representatives.

In fact, they are afraid that such a thing will happen immediately, just a few weeks before the mass arrival of tourists in the Greek islands.

The country’s security services are already scanning Signal and Telegram groups of immigrants and refugees, in order to decipher the intentions of traffickers who act with the blessings of the neighboring country.

Should that happen, it will be a tombstone for local communities affected by the pandemic in recent years, as well as for all businesses and tourism workers.

Finally, note that the camps that currently exist on the islands are all full of all that entails, in case of a mass landing.

As for the new humanitarian crisis, the re-impoverishment of tens of thousands of people, accidents, etc. is unfortunately a given.
