The Turkish media continue to play dangerous games of impressions, and the most respectable, unfortunately, do not differ from them, which contributes to the deterioration of the already tense climate in Greek-Turkish relations.
This time they talked about transfer of 40 tanks to the Greek-Turkish border of Evros, news that forced – without ruling out that there were interventions from above given the critical situation in the Eastern Mediterranean – to deny, speaking of a planned transfer of tanks from Syria, which are not directed at Evros and a maneuver that in no way concerns Hellas.
Particularly, as reported by the Anadolu agency, the news about the transfer of the tanks to the Greek-Turkish border does not reflect the truth.
As a journalist from the Turkish agency points out, this is a planned activity of the Second Army based in Malatia and it is not a transfer of troops to the border with Greece.
However, the propaganda orgy of the Turkish media in their attempt to present a picture of a powerful and all-powerful Turkey carries the risk of a boomerang, especially now that, at least on a verbal level, the recommendations and messages to Turkey for de-escalation have become much stricter. and “menacingly” from all powerful players and allies.
The controversial publications
Formerly, the main Turkish media, including websites republic and News– reported that the Turkish armed forces from Saturday afternoon began to transport tanks from the border with Syria to the border with Greece.
According to the same sources, around two truck convoys left the Turkish-Syrian border with 40 tanks with their final destination in Edirne. The tanks will be transported from the port of Alexandretta by train to Edirne. 
“From the Hatay, Reihanli and Kumlu areas on the Syrian border, the tanks were loaded onto trucks and left for Edirne,” read the article, which was immediately reproduced by various Turkish media.
In fact, photos of the alleged military convoy bound for the Greek-Turkish border were published.
Turkish media commented that “the mission of the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and the Greek soldiers at Kastelorizo was the last straw.”
