There is no end to them, Turkish provocations, with the Turkish Defense Minister making new threats against Greece, with the sovereignty of the Greek islands at stake.
Houloussi Akar[/B], according to the front page of Turkiye newspaper, said. Turkey's potential exceeds Greece's stature."
The narrative on the islands
Yesterday, Akar referred again to the demilitarization of the islands. "The islands must be demilitarized according to the conditions. They should not be visited by officials," he said, hinting at Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' visit to Kos, Pserimos and Kymi.
"We expect them to understand that they will not get anywhere by making visits to the islands which are very close to Turkey among the thousands of islands that exist and making provocative actions, ceremonies and speeches. We have responded to Greece's unjust and illegal aggressive actions and we will continue to do so. We will never remain silent on these issues, we will never allow our rights to be violated and we will never say "yes" to any fait accompli. Everyone should know this," he added.
Obsession...
Akar, neither more nor less, accused Greece of being... obsessed with Turkey.
"Some politicians in neighbouring Greece insist on waking up in the morning and saying 'Turkey' and going to bed at night saying 'Turkey'," Houloussi Akar claimed - or so he wants to believe.
He also claimed that these Greek politicians are the ones who adopt provocative rhetoric, while he did not fail to advise them..: "We want them to know that they are causing great harm to the Greek people."
The Turkish defense minister also claimed that "Turkey hopes for dialogue and a climate of constructive talks as soon as possible," choosing to forget his leader Erdogan's "Mitsotakis yok" line, in which he ruled out any talks with Athens.
