Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself on Saturday continued the crescendo of threatening statements against Greece by Turkish government officials, urging Athens not to mess with Ankara in the Aegean.
In a lengthy speech of a purely pre-election nature, as Turkey clearly entered the home stretch for the presidential elections expected at the end of April, Mr. Erdogan once again addressed Greece in a threatening manner.
“We launched Typhoon. What is the range of Typhoon? 561 km. What did the Greeks do? They sounded the alarm… Newspapers immediately hit the front pages: “They will hit Athens,” they wrote,” Mr. Erdogan said.
“We don’t have that problem until you contact us in the Aegean. Until you contact us in the Aegean, we will not contact you. We still have a lot of work to do,” the Turkish ruler said.
