Those who applauded Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis do not see the realities in Cyprus, claimed T/C leader Ersin Tatar commenting on the Greek Prime Minister's speech to Congress.
In a statement on Turkish state television, Tatar said specifically that "those who see the realities in Cyprus say that there should be a solution of two separate peoples, however those who applauded the Greek Prime Minister in the US do not see these realities".
The TC leader argued that Turkey's withdrawal from Cyprus means a renewed environment of conflict in Cyprus. Tatar said that one day the whole world will see the realities, so what Kyriakos Mitsotakis said is of no value.
Meanwhile, only Houriet has on its front page the meeting between Kyriakos Mitsotakis and US President Joe Biden under the headline "Baidenopoulos or Baidenakis?", commenting that there was a comical dialogue at the White House. All other newspapers have extensive reports on the Greek Prime Minister's contacts in the US on their internal pages.
According to the Turkish press, Kyriakos Mitsotakis put Turkey in the crosshairs with his speech to Congress. The publications describe his references to Cyprus as scandalous and what he said about airspace as lies.
The pro-government Yeni Safak has the headline "Mitsotakis' clowns: US Congress members gave a standing ovation to his scandalous words on 'Cyprus'". It also writes that Biden gave an F35 as a gift to Mitsotakis.
The also pro-government Aksham has the headline "Mitsotakis' scandalous statement on Cyprus Lies about airspace!"
The opposition-owned Jumhuriyet carries a statement by former Turkish Ambassador Farouk Lologlu who criticizes Turkey for settling for F16s while Greece aspires for F35s.
