Determined to maintain the backdrop of tensions in the eastern Mediterranean appears to be Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who insists on incendiary rhetoric with threats against Greece.
Speaking to the judges today on the occasion of the beginning of the new judicial year, Erdogan said that: “Our movements in the eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean are movements to do justice.”
The Turkish president spoke disparagingly about Greece, characteristically saying: “It is fun to see a country drowning in a spoonful of water and wants to hit Turkey in the international arena.”
Continuing with his delusional speech, he added that “no matter what they do, they cannot stop us. We are tired of this shadow play. “It’s funny (other countries) to use Greece, which is incompetent, as bait against a regional and global power like Turkey.”

“We believe that in this new period, Turkey’s allies will gradually increase,” said the Turkish president, quoted by Sabah, referring to France. The wealth of the Mediterranean, which is the right of every country bathed in it, is a typical example of modern colonialism. “
He added: “The words heard by politicians and diplomats cannot hide the atrocities of countries that they consider great, strong, rich and invincible.”
Threats from Tsavousoglou too
Along the same lines, Turkish Chancellor Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu, during joint statements with his Algerian counterpart, referred to the eastern Mediterranean, arguing that fueling tensions in the region would only harm Greece.

According to Sabah, the Turkish Foreign Minister affirmed that his country is in favor of dialogue “on the rights and resources of the Mediterranean”, referring to Kastelorizo and added that “if there are weapons that exceed the limit, Greece will lose.”
In the well-known tactic of reversing reality, Tsavousoglu said Greece is trying to provoke Turkey by adopting a hostile attitude: “With the unconditional support of the EU, Greece is taking provocative measures against international law.” We do not infringe on anyone’s rights, nor do we allow others to infringe ours. “
