Athens ready for ‘drill hunt’: Erdogan plays his leftovers and threatens Greece

Double-pressed is Tayyip Erdogan who sees the problems inside his country constantly growing and his popularity following the course of the Turkish pound that is constantly collapsing, while the shots he receives from the opposition are now continuous.

The president of the “Good Party”, Meral Aksener, warned him that if he lost power he would be sentenced to life imprisonment, while the leader of the People’s Party, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, called on him to keep his mouth shut to confuse him with a man. The reason for Kilisdaroglu’s harsh statement was the unprecedented characterization of the Turkish president against the protesters in Gezi Park in 2013. Mr. Erdogan spoke of terrorists and sluts who were protesting, causing anger in Turkish society.

Tayyip Erdogan seems to be destabilized. His efforts to change the agenda are constantly falling into the void. His leontarizations against our country clash with the reactions of the EU. and the US, while within Turkey the climate of controversy is growing.

Concern about drilling rigs

In Athens, it is estimated that Ankara will soon take out drilling for research, causing a new source of tension in the sensitive region of the Eastern Mediterranean. The government is preparing for all contingencies, while at the same time internationalizing the Turkish provocation by presenting documented evidence.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as he has stated, will not follow the aggressive rhetoric of Ankara without this meaning that he will leave unanswered any position that will challenge the sovereign rights of the country.

The last paper

At the NATO Summit in Madrid in late June, Tayyip Erdogan appears to be playing his last role in changing the climate. His negative stance on Sweden and Finland joining the North Atlantic Alliance may have irritated the US and the EU, but the Turkish president has already begun bargaining in order to reap as many benefits as possible in order to give a positive vote for the two Nordic countries to join NATO.

Secretary-General Jens Stoldenberg has said he will invite top officials from Sweden, Finland and Turkey to Brussels in the coming days to discuss Ankara’s opposition to the two Nordic countries joining the North Atlantic Alliance.

“I am in close contact with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,” Jens Stolderberg told a news conference in Washington after meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. So far, the Turkish president seems to be playing the game of Russia, which does not want the two Nordic countries to join NATO. The question is how much it will withstand the pressure. And that the policy of the “bad boy” attributes or creates new impasses in Turkey that has found itself without any ally on the international stage, with the possible exception of the Russian president …
