Akar challenges again with the Aegean islands

“Arrows” fired at Greece once again by the Turkish Minister of National Defense, Hulusi Akar during his presence at a military event in Ankara.

Initially, in his comment on developments in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, Akar said: “Our army meets our needs and does what is necessary to protect our rights and interests in the Aegean, the Mediterranean and Cyprus. On the other hand, we respect the agreements and decisions of the courts and we assume our responsibilities under the bilateral agreements that we have made. This it is what we call dialogue. We don’t want war. We say yes to dialogue, but we don’t want this to be perceived as a weakness in any way. “

He then emphasized that “It takes two, who respect international law, to have good neighborly relations.” “This is our goal and this is what we want throughout our history. Today we see that our neighbors are unable to understand this and consider us weak. However, we are determined to protect our rights and we will not back down in the least. And this should not be taken lightly by some. “We are simply disclosing facts and in this context, we want a meeting and talks.”

At the same time, he once again referred to “16 militarized Greek islands”, saying like: “The Lausanne Treaty is being violated. When there is a relevant issue on the table with our neighbors, they say ‘let’s put it aside, let’s not talk about it’.” You cannot accept such a thing. “

Akar didn’t stop talking about his attitude. France in Eastern Mediterranean, saying: “France has nothing to do with the region, it has no borders, it has no duty to be here under agreements. They accuse us without reason, we cannot accept these accusations. They participate in exercises, knowing that they increase the intensity and that they make mistakes. This behavior does not contribute to stability. They say NATO is dead and then they hide behind NATO and the EU. Isn’t that hypocrisy? “We, like Turkey, want dialogue, peace, justice and cooperation in the context of international relations and good neighborly relations.”
