The issue in Milliyet is the internationalization of Turkish revisionism – Mitsotaki’s visit to Kos-Pserimos is ‘provocative’

An article in the Turkish Milliyet talks about scandalous maps and provocation on the part of the Greek Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister’s upcoming visit to Kos and Pserimos is characterized as a challenge by the fanatically pro-Erdogan newspaper which says that “the new page that was opened between Turkey and Greece was closed because of Kyriakos Mitsotakis”.

The article goes on to quote the delusion of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who said in a speech to his party’s parliamentary group: “Did he allow the establishment of American bases in Greece? Did he allow it? “We have terminated the agreement of the Supreme Cooperation Council with Greece. We are in favor of a foreign policy with dignity.” “You go and demonstrate taking off your planes… What are you doing? Come together! Do you not learn any lessons from history? Then you start crying and whining,” Erdogan continued.

“Do not try to dance with Turkey. You will get tired and stay on the road,” he said, adding: “We no longer have bilateral talks with them. Unfortunately, this Greece will not get on the right track. “We in Congress. We are tired of them now. If you are honest, your position is honest in front of us, if you are not then do not misunderstand.”

Then comes the move by which the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through a series of 16 maps, deconstructs Turkish revisionism. Without particular comments, the article suggests that Greece is the one that claims that Turkey, since its establishment until 1972, had not claimed anything in the islands of the Eastern Aegean.

And of course the Milliyet article closes with the reference to Mitsotakis’s visit to the USA, “Joe Bidenopoulos” and the comments of the Greek Prime Minister in the Congress to emphasize the anti-Turkish stance of Greece.
