Ankara[/B] is investing in escalating tensions in Greek-Turkish relations, with the Turkish president issuing almost daily threats to Greece.
Today, Recep Tayyip Erdogan returned to his inflammatory rhetoric, this time speaking at a meeting of the ruling AKP party's parliamentary group.
Among other things, he spoke of a game being played against his country and accused Greece of "not understanding this game or voluntarily assuming the role of an extra", serving the interests of others.
Reversing the reality, he claimed that it is our country that is pitting Turkey against itself, while referring to the Asia Minor Catastrophe, threatening that Greece "will suffer what it suffered in the past".
"We sent a message"
In particular, Erdogan referred to the EFES 2022 exercise and the celebrations for the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople. We also met our local organisations in Izmir. We know and have understood the game that is being played against our country through Greece being spoiled again as in the past," Erdogan said.
"We are the ones who proved that serving Istanbul is as important as conquering it," he added.

"Role of an extra - Will he get what he wants?what happened in the past."
The Turkish president made reference to the Asia Minor Catastrophe, saying that our country must look at the past and stressing that "if Greece persists, this is what it will get from now on."
"The problem is that Greece does not understand this game or has voluntarily assumed the role of an extra in this game," he said and added: "You know that on film shoots it is the extras who get the most tired, wear out and break their arms and legs. But in the scene their name doesn't appear nor do they themselves. In the past this has happened in Greece and if the same mistake is persisted with, this will happen again."
