In an interview granted by the Honorary Chief of General Staff General Fr. Frankos, on the television show “Hour of Greece” as a guest of journalists Dimitris Kambourakis and Panagiotis Stathis, referred to the latest developments in Greek-Turkish and the extreme rhetoric on the part of the Turkish leadership with the aim of preparing a climate of conflict by expressing the conviction that they should remain in the rhetoric.
The Honorary Head of the GES referred to former French President Hollande’s statement on Turkey’s provocation, who said that “Turkey should change its six-year strategy. For a long time, Turkey wanted to join the European Union and even wanted to ensure, to set an example, that the role of Islamism would not be confused.
Now he follows a revisionist policy and has invaded Syria, Iraq went to Libya and directly threatens Greece and Cyprus!!
We need to change our policy towards Turkey because it destabilizes the Eastern Mediterranean, as MACRON emphasized during his recent trip to Paris.
If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, then it is not excluded that Erdogan will do something similar against Greece.
He recalled the 16th of February 1999 when he was AKAM, when Ocalan was arrested, the reaction of the Turks who hung black wreaths outside the Greek embassy in Ankara wanting to show the fanaticism that has been instilled in them until today that Greece is under occupation of the islands, are inhumane in order to justify the exploitation of irregular immigrants.
That is why he proposed the creation of a “WAR ROOM” under the coordination of a National Security Council in order to immediately respond to attacks through social media and to inform the International community, shaping and implementing our national strategy.
He pointed out that the Turks in this field have progressed as they have 200 translators, have included the Greek language in Turkish Universities and revealed that the Turkish commandos are taught the Greek language for three years and are active in reconnaissance operations in our country during the summers.
The General said that since 2001, in the presence of 70 representatives of foreign states at the Turkish General Assembly, the Turks claim that Greece has militarized and illegally occupies Kastelorizo by falsifying the Treaty of Lausanne, the Treaty of Montreux and Paris, by which the Dodecanese were assigned to Greece.
He even gave as an example the absurd demand for the demilitarization of Thassos in which there were 4 soldiers for a transmission link.
“They are cowards and want to parade on the islands like they did in Cyprus in 1974,” he said.
Regarding the situation of the Turkish army in relation to the Hellenic one
The Honorary Chief replied that Greece’s equipment is progressing wisely and is gradually raising our level after the completion of the programs.
Regarding the air defense of the two countries, he stated that if the S-400 system received from Russia is excluded, we have an advantage.
In particular, to a question about the activity of Turkish Drones in the Aegean, he answered without hesitation “WE CAN DROP THEM INTO THE SEA IN DT TIME”, but he also referred to the “professional patriots” who are pushing for their downfall, saying that we should not fall into its trap of Turkey to drag us to the negotiation table and he characteristically asked himself “Should we negotiate for our own islands?”
She referred to the meeting held at the headquarters of the League in Cairo, on the sidelines of the 158th Session of the Council of the Arab League at the level of foreign ministers, where her concern was expressed about the continuation of the Turkish military presence in the territories of Arab countries and about Turkish interventions in the internal affairs of Arab countries and decided:
The need for Turkey to withdraw its forces immediately, without conditions or conditions.
He rejected any influence on the demographic composition in various Arab regions under the control of Turkish forces.
To respect the water rights of Iraq and Syria, to stop building dams at the sources of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
The occasion was given after the operation of an ISIS office in Ankara with the name “Al-Faruq office” with responsibility for the Caucasus, Armenia – Azerbaijan, Russia and former Eastern states and the office with the name “Al-Sham office” based in Syria and with the responsibility of directing the global network of ISIS.
He pointed out that the Arab commission consists of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Secretary General of the Arab League.
