Turkish media annoyed by Mitsotakis’s visit to US: ‘Demonstration of power’

The visit of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Greek ministers to the USA caused annoyance in the Turkish media, withicons such as Joe Biden’s warm welcome, or his tie with the Greek flag, are strongly commented on in the neighboring country.

According to SKAI, a Haber Turk correspondent spoke about “shows” between Greece and Mitsotakis in Washington, noting that the Greek Prime Minister will speak in Congress, while he also referred to his speech at Georgetown University. “The Mitsotakis meetings are a show of strength, and they show the weight of Greece in the USA,” he stressed.

The nervousness in Turkey is intensified by the fact that in 2023 the Rafale program is completed, in 2027 the Greek F-16 fighters are modernized and Mr. Mitsotakis talks about state-of-the-art F-35s from 2028.

On the contrary, Turkey is engaged in a road race for its own F-16s and while it was a co-producer of the F-35s, the Americans went off schedule due to the S-400s that Ankara bought from Moscow.
