personal attack on Kyriakos Mitsotakis about what the Greek Prime Minister mentioned on Thursday in an interview with the American television network CNN, a representative of the ruling party spoke today Turkey, Omer Celik.
Mr. Tselik accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of an expansive and aggressive policy aimed at Kastelorizo, while making no secret of his dissatisfaction with arms supplies from Greece.
“We condemn Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis, who has once again set his sights on our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Mitsotakis’ claim that Turkey is “reviving neo-Ottoman revisionist fantasies” is a phrase he uses to cover up his own illegal policies. Mitsotakis pursues an expansive and aggressive policy. Mitsotakis threatens peace and stability in the region with his maximalist policies towards the Eastern Mediterranean.
Mitsotakis defends the position that the 10-square-kilometer island, which is 2 kilometers from Anatolia and 580 kilometers from mainland Greece, has a continental shelf of 40,000 square kilometers. This is an aggressive and expansionist policy. The claim that Kastelorizo has 4,000 times more sea area than the island itself is contrary to international law. It is tragic that Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis, who has such a fantastic statement, aimed our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at an “expansionist” statement. The fact that the Mitsotakis government, which was struggling to pay even several billion euros of Greek debt, increased and quintupled its country’s budget for armaments, shows the whole world that Greece is not pursuing peaceful goals and is pursuing an aggressive policy in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Greek opposition draws attention to the fact that the country has become a military base of foreign states. Our message to Mitsotakis is that by avoiding Turkish diplomacy and turning his country into a camp for third countries, he will not solve any of Greece’s problems.”
Greek Prime Minister Michotakisin Bir Kez Daha Kurbuskansimiz Sn @RTerdoganWe’re trying to hit the target. To say that Michotakis wants to revive Turkey’s “revisionist fantasy yeni Osmanlıcı” is a phrase he uses to cover up his illegal policies.
