In Turkish rhetoric about the militarization of the islands, he insisted Turk chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoganand also referring to the Typhoon missile.

“Turkey is strong. Turkey has produced a missile called the Tayfun. What if he hits Athens? We do not have such a problem, be smarter. If you militarize the islands, will we stand still? Mitsotakis knows well that if you try to make a mistake, crazy Turks will come. If you act sensibly, we don’t care about you,” the Turkish president said in new statements.

Earlier, T. Erdogan accused Greece of violating the Lausanne Treaty, while he also replied to what Kyriakos Mitsotakis mentioned yesterday from Davos.

“We find that the conditions of Lausanne and as regards the islands are not applied by the Greek officials. There can be no militarization of the islands. But these islands are militarized. And so they are taking steps contrary to the Lausanne Treaty and other treaties. We are taking the necessary steps, we are responding to international forums as needed. And they will do what they have to do,” the Turkish President characteristically said in his statements on Friday.
