Continued provocations by Turkey, with the country’s Defense Minister Hulusi Akar launching a new verbal attack against Greece.

“We advise our neighbor Greece not to allow itself to be exploited by certain countries and not to become their ‘meze’,” the Turkish Defense Minister characteristically stated in his speech on Friday (09/11), referring to the situation It has created in the eastern Mediterranean and with the support of our country from France.

“Some just need to be quiet to reduce the volume. You don’t need to do anything. Just be quiet,” he told Hurriyet.

He continued: “We attach great importance to the talks. In this context, we invite our Greek neighbors to the negotiating table, dialogue and political solution at all times, and we will continue to do so.”

The Turkish minister referred to the four military exercises that took place in the last 15 days in the eastern Mediterranean, highlighting: “These exercises are not threats, but what? We are talking about friendship, good neighborly relations. These, of course , they are facts that increase tension. “What must be done to avoid escalating tensions is quite simple: dialogue, mutual negotiations, political solutions. Focus, work on these issues. Otherwise, it should be known that they can have disturbing consequences. ”

Recall that Turkey previously announced a new NAVTEX in the eastern Mediterranean, blocking a maritime area near the Cypriot EEZ for real-world fire drills.
