Oktay: Greece to stop settling people on islands – In the crosshairs of Kastelorizo, Oinousses

Turkey continues the extreme challenges by challenging the sovereignty of Greek islands and restoring the issue of “gray zones”.

In a TV interview, according to skai.gr, the vice president of Turkey, Fuat Oktay, targeted Kastelorizo ​​and Oinousses, stating indirectly but clearly that proximity to Turkey is a reason for these islands not to have a continental shelf.

“We mentioned Kastelorizo. We are talking about a tiny island. It is 580 km from the mainland of Greece. While from Turkey it is, I think, about 4 miles. That is, the rooster crows on the island and you hear it. That is, if they buy bread “The milk will come to Turkey. It is so close. And they are coming and claiming a continental shelf from this island. It is nothing more than a selfish and ill-mannered attitude. Turkey can not retreat,” he stressed.

As for Oinousses, Erdogan’s “right hand man” noted that “if you shout they will hear you across the street, you do not need to use a telephone. From such nearby islands they come right in front of us and chase away the fishermen. They have no limit.”

At the same time, Fuat Oktay raised the issue of the “gray zones”, noting that Greece must stop both the militarization and the settlement of people on the islands.

“Greece must stop these attitudes, stop this disturbed behavior. This includes the issue of settling people on islands, as well as the militarization of the islands. “Over time, he will see that he will not win. Turkey has taken the necessary steps, has seen the game and will do what it’s supposed to do.”
