ISTANBUL – ANSWER. President of the Good Party Meral Axener claims that the Greek-Egyptian agreement on the definition of maritime areas of responsibility violated the doctrine “Blue Motherland” which the government is trying to implement Erdogan. In an interview with Haberturk TV, Ms. Aksener said: “They keep talking about the Blue Homeland, a doctrine that we as a party said yes to, but half of the Blue Homeland has been lost.” she stated and elaborated that this was due to an agreement between Greece and Egypt.

However, a few days before the second round President elections the anti-Western and anti-American rhetoric of the Turkish government under its president intensifies Türkiye to argue that the Western countries do not want him, because he himself supports the interests of his country.

“As long as the people support us, we will resist terrorist organizations, imperialists and usurers. It is not strange to me that all Western magazines were on the front pages with the headlines “Erdogan out.” Because Erdogan thinks nationally. Westerners can’t stomach us because we’ve eradicated terrorism. They don’t need us because we paid our debt and kicked the IMF out of Turkey. They hate us because we liberated Hagia Sophia.” Erdogan, in his TV interview with TRT Haber, also mentioned Turkey’s arms programs and argued that there is a reaction from the West to the development of the domestic defense industry.

Meanwhile, the Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu argued that “drugs throughout the world are controlled by the CIA. Anyone who doesn’t know this is a fool. America has turned Afghanistan into a drug hub.” Soylow also personally attacked the President of the United States Joe Biden and stated that Turkey is actually at war with the US, not the PKK. “The US President came out and said that Erdogan will be held accountable for what he did. He says he will punish us. If you dare punish us! We are not at war with the PKK, we are at war with the US. It is so simple”.

New Typhoon Test

The head of the Turkish defense industry department, Ismail Demir, announced the second test launch of the Typhoon ballistic missile. The launch took place from the city of Rizunda towards the Black Sea. The first test launch took place in 2022. A few days after the test launch, Erdogan said: “They say that the Typhoon will hit Athens. If they try to buy weapons from America and install them on the islands, a country like Turkey won’t just look like that.”
