THE Turkey discovered island 19 in Aegean Sea, which “Greece occupied” militarily in recent years. The absurd claim refers to the small island of Antikythera, Kucuk Cuca, as it is called Turkish – between Kythira and Crete. “Once again, Greece invaded the island of Antikythera without facing any obstacles. Flags of Greece and the EU waving at the entrance to the port of the island, which has been under Turkish rule since the Ottoman Empire. Antikythera is four times more greater than Kastelorizo or the Prince of the Bosphorus “ writes the Sozkou newspaper, presenting his statements former Secretary General of the Ministry of Defense Yumit Yalim, who is considered one of the main exponents of Turkish revisionism against our country.
Yalim claims that Greece is using the island for tourism, with the construction of a hotel and ferry services that transport tourists, calling Ankara “remove” the Greek mayor from office by appointing a Turkish administrator. “The mayor of the island of Antikythera is a Greek citizen. According to local government law, the mayor must be a Turkish citizen. However, the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Turkey has not yet removed the Greek citizen mayor Kharkalakis and has not appointed to an administrator “. he says provocatively.
Continuing with the also retired officer and geopolitical-military analyst, he affirms that with the “occupation” of Antikythera Greece controls the Kythera sea passage that links the Aegean Sea – Sea of Islands “as it calls it – with the Mediterranean. “Currently, 19 Turkish islands and 2 Turkish rocks are under Greek occupation. The” Sea of Islands “has been transformed into a Greek lake. Turkey imprisoned off the coast of Asia Minor” specifically says Yalim.
Sozku’s article is widely reproduced in the Turkish electronic media.
According to the narration of the former Secretary General of the Turkish Ministry of Defense, in addition to Antikythera, 3/4 of Crete, as well as 14 islands, islets and islets in Crete and the South Cretan Sea are… Turkish territory, which is invaded by Greece
Who is Yalim?
Although considered a “Kemalist”, Yalim was successful:stroking the ears of extremist nationalists– Impose some of their maximalist positions on the agenda of the country’s political life.
Through books, articles, conferences, interviews with the media, etc. Yalim, has managed to impose a series of extreme positions, such as official doctrine of Turkish foreign policy. It is no coincidence that I regularly write articles on the website of the Institute for Strategic Studies “Turkey – XXI Century”, which is considered official think tank of the Turkish government, as it is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Yalim was the first to raise publicly in Turkey the issue of the alleged illegal occupation by our country of islands, islets and rocky islets in the Aegean Sea. A theory adopted first, for political reasons, by the opposition Kemalist People’s Republican Party (CHP) and later by the Turkish government and President Tayyip Erdogan as part of their neo-Ottoman aspirations.
