Turkey’s increasing provocations against Greece and the data for causing a “hot episode” or even provocation.
Turkey is becoming more and more provocative towards Greece as time goes on. Provocations and threats of even invasion are increasingly being made by Erdogan and his staff.
In fact, things have gone even further, as the Turkish president even went so far as to talk about recognizing the occupied territory in Cyprus!
In fact, the new US no on the F-16 issue has caused the Turks to escape, with the statements of the Minister of the Interior of the neighboring country, Suleiman Soylou, who called Greece “an instrument of the US”, being indicative.
What continues to anger the Turks is the support of the Americans in our country. We remind you that the representative of the State Department described Greece as a crucial ally of America in the Mediterranean and in the wider region, in response to a question from a Turkish journalist, regarding the visit of Nikos Dendias to Libya and his meeting only with Marshal Haftar and the president of the parliament , Saleh.
At the same time, the Greek-American lobby is again putting up a wall in Ankara’s request to modernize and buy F-16 fighters, with pro-Hellenic Senator Menendez’s son, Robert Menendez Jr., saying that Turkey is not going to buy the American fighters as long as her aggressive behavior.
Based on the above, the Turks seem to want a heated episode, perhaps even provocations. In this direction, the ongoing fake news from Turkey. A typical example is what Aksam newspaper reports on its front page: “First landing in Anatolia – Greek civilization stripped them, beat them and pushed them away (immigrants from Morocco)”.
At the same time, Alexandros Despotopoulos, an international expert, commented to Mega about the appearance of the President of Turkey at the G-20 summit:
“The President of Turkey works like a pendulum. Depending on how his meeting with a foreign leader goes, he adopts another public position.
“He had met with President Macron and because he was being pressured to lower his tone with Greece, he muttered something about dialogue in an interview.
“Then he meets Biden, who publicly supports him for the F-16s, but at the same time he receives difficult messages from Congress and we see him reacting by attacking Greece again.”
Nicoleta Sofila, President of the Municipal Council of Heroic Island Kasos said: “We are not affected by the Sultan’s challenges, we are an island with traditions, timeless values and exclusive beauties. We are also a peaceful and welcoming island. But this will not prevent us from defending our island day and night. Our families are a national guard”.
Ms. Sofila also highlighted the difficulty in connecting the island with Piraeus by ferry, as well as the lack of medical care on the uninhabited islands.
