The publication of “Kathimerini” about the plans of the USA in Alexandroupolis caused a great disturbance in Turkey, with the matter even making the front page of Hurriyet, as transmitted from Istanbul by the correspondent of SKAI, Manolis Kostidis.
“The plans of Dedeagats”, is the title of the publication of the Turkish newspaper and it talks about converting Alexandroupolis into a naval base. “They are building a new Souda for the Greeks,” he says characteristically.
In particular, Hurriyet comments that US destroyers may also be approaching, while emphasizing that Alexandroupoli is only 40 thousand from Turkey.
Turkish concern also exists for Crete, where the publication states that appropriate landing bases for F-35s will be built on the island.
The annoyance in the neighboring country is, however, evident, and the issue has taken on a large extent in the television media, which presented it in news bulletins.
