The Turkish Defense Minister remained on the same provocative wave with his statements against Biden, Mevlut Cavusoglu, since in an interview with TV 100 he stated that “there are islands and islands in the Aegean Sea, the sovereignty of which is not defined. We rightly say that they belong to us, while the Greeks say that they belong to them. Then there is tension.”

He added that “in Greek President And Minister of Defense them, today they went and made a statement about the alleged Genocide, as if they have such an obligation.

President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulouon the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Armenian Genocide in a tweet indicates that everyone has a duty to fight all forms of intolerance so that all people are safe, regardless of their identity, origin or beliefs.

“We honor the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, exterminated during the Ottoman Empire. Our duty is to fight all forms of intolerance so that all people are safe, regardless of their identity, origin or beliefs.”

Aggressive response to the White House

Earlier, Cavusoglu reacted with particularly aggressive references to his statement White House to the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

In a Twitter post, the Turkish Foreign Minister stated: “Political charlatans trying to distort History are back on the scene! History cannot be rewritten with political statements. Opportunists who persist in this regard will be remembered for their ulterior motives and hypocrisy. No one can teach the great Turkish nation a lesson in history.”

Although Cavusoglu does not personify the fire he lit, the Turkish press speaks of a “tough response” to Joe Biden.
