After Erdogan's rant against Greece yesterday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu took the baton today.
"Greece is engaging in demagoguery, dishonest rhetoric, it cannot give a legitimate response to Ankara's letters," the Turkish Foreign Minister said on the sidelines of his visit to the occupied territories.
"The denial of the rights of northern Cyprus is a denial of the identity of Turkish Cypriots, we have no more 50 years to lose," the Turkish foreign minister added, stressing that Turkey will continue to protect the rights of Turkish Cypriots at all costs.
He further added: "We do not expect the Greek prime minister or any other Greek prime minister to praise us in the European Union. We have no such expectation. We have never lobbied for Greece. We don't need to be comforted by such nonsense," he went on to say: "We are for cooperation, not tension. We are fully committed to protecting our rights."
