The visit of the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Ankara has caused great irritation, as can be seen from the statements made by the representative of Turkey’s ruling party, Omer Celik, who shortly before the start of exploratory contacts between the two countries threatens the war.

Expressing his strong discontent with the United States, Celik stated that “the visit to the Republic of Cyprus and then the visit to Greece and the statements of support do not help regional peace. This overshadows America’s equity policy and creates an unsatisfactory position as our ally in NATO. We believe that the United States must return to its balanced policy. ”

In fact, he accused Greece of trying to impose its own terms and noted that “while Greece declares that it is ready for exploratory contacts, at the same time it is visiting the Greek Cypriot side. This essentially shows the strengthening of the non-settlement position of the Greek Cypriots. Like the statements of support for Greece, it essentially shows that those who are sitting in front of us are being led in the wrong direction. That is why Greece always tries to impose things and conditions. ”

He threatened Greece saying that “Turkey is a country of consultations. If they want to solve the problems at the table, we will solve it there.” But if you want to solve problems at the front, we will do it at the front. “But if the other side uses only brute force and not the subtle force of diplomacy, then Turkey also knows well how to use its armed forces, its brute force.”
