Greece will not follow Turkey down
“Greece is not going to follow Turkey in the daily outrageous and beyond all limits a barrage of statements and threats“, it states Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement, commenting on recent statements by Turkish officials.
“We will immediately inform our allies and partners about the content of the provocative statements of the last few days, in order to make it clear who is dynamiting the cohesion of our alliance in a particularly dangerous period”, he emphasizes.
“At the same time, we will continue to operate, based on the rules of International Law and the Law of the Sea, as a pillar of stability and security for the wider region”, he concludes.
Earlier, faithful to the rhetoric of escalation, the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, called on the Greeks to “remember history” noting that “if they continue, the price will be heavy”.
Greeks, look at history. If you continue, the price will be heavy. Do you have a suggestion for Greece? Don’t forget Smyrna” underlined the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his statements on Saturday (03/09) at the TEKNOFEST 2022 technology event. “Is the US sending weapons to Greece? Are they trying to threaten us with the S-300 anti-missile systems? (…) We will do whatever the temperature, when the time comes,” he added.
There have been a lot of provocative statements and actions from Ankara. On Friday (02/09), Erdogan stated that “Greece has no value in NATO” while the Turkish Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, was on the same wavelength, who a few days ago said that Turkey will continue to respond to ” insolence” of Greece.
After all, the neighboring country’s claims that Greek S-300s “locked” Turkish F16s are also recent, with Turkey sending evidence, according to it, to NATO, while according to Ankara, violations of its internal space and territorial waters . from Greece are continuous and now number in the hundreds.
