New Turkish rant against Greece and against the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, this one from his far-right partner Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Specifically, Devlet Bahceli issued extreme threats about the Dodecanese, accusing Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of seeking an armed conflict with Ankara, as SKAI's correspondent in Turkey, Manolis Kostidis, reported.
"Turkey does not retreat from its rights, it will not allow its rights to be violated []. THE GREEK GOVERNMENT IS TO BLAME AS IT HAS VIOLATED THE LAUSANNE AND PARIS TREATIES BY MILITARIZING THE ISLANDS. IT HAS RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL LAW. MOREOVER, THE HEART AND FACE OF THE DODECANESE IS TURNED TOWARDS TURKEY! ANYONE WHO TOUCHES OUR VEIN WILL HAVE HIS HEART RIPPED OUT," BAHCELI SAID.
The president of the Nationalist Action Party, which is in coalition with Erdogan's party, described the Greek prime minister as an instrument of foreign powers "like his grandfathers" and that he is making provocations "to create a climate of armed conflict."
"Mitsotakis, like his grandparents, is becoming an instrument of foreign powers and with his actions and rhetoric he is leading the situation to boil over. He is visiting the islands that are of disputed sovereignty he is trying to provoke Turkey and they are right under our noses. He is trying to make provocations to create a climate of armed conflict if necessary as he wants to make the Aegean a Greek sea," he said.
