>Greece must withdraw its military from the Aegean islands or Turkey “will take matters further,” Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warned on Thursday, adding that **Ankara is prepared to challenge their sovereignty.**
>**“We are not bluffing. If Athens does not comply, we will take matters further,”** Cavusoglu told reporters on a flight back from a visit to Jerusalem and the West Bank.
>“It is against international law for Greece to cancel the status of the islands conditionally given to it within the framework of the 1923 Lausanne and 1947 Paris peace agreements. Whatever reason Greece finds, its justification is not valid. What were the terms? It will not arm these islands. Greece has armed them since 1960, so we say that if it doesn’t yield, we will start a debate on their sovereignty,” Cavusoglu said.
>Cavusoglu’s comments are the latest sharp escalation in the rhetoric emanating from Ankara following Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ recent visit to Washington, where he referred to Turkey’s increasingly aggressive behavior.
So that Turkey can invade them?
Is Turkish president a dictator?
What about to stop saying another bullshit day after day after day? Greece should do stg, Sweden should do stg, US should do stg…
Why the hell these guys whining all the time ?
Besides of their government, I do genuinely see Turkey as an ally, but this gives me headaches.
I can say “%100 yes”as a turkish.

One idiot starts, the others follow…
Replace Greece with Ukraine and Cavusolgu with Putin and you get a sweet deja vu.
According to Article 13 of the Lausanne Peace Treaty, the islands should not be armed.
Article 13
With a view to ensuring the maintenance of peace, the Greek Government undertakes to observe the following restrictions in the islands of Mytilene, Chios, Samos and Nikaria:
(1)No naval base and no fortification will be established in the said islands.
(2)Greek military aircraft will be forbidden to fly over the territory of the Anatolian coast. Reciprocally, the Turkish Government will forbid their military aircraft to fly over the said islands.
(3)The Greek military forces in the said islands will be limited to the normal contingent called up for military service, which can be trained on the spot, as well as to a force of gendarmerie and police in proportion to the force of gendarmerie and police existing in the whole of the Greek territory.
I guess after Erdogan gave Putin the migrant playbook to fck up the Baltics last year, Putin returned the favor by giving Erdogan the Ukraine playbook.
Cavusoglu can go sick a duck
“Aegean is not a Greek lake. Aegean is not a Turkish lake either. In fact, the Aegean is not a lake at all.”
Some ex Turkish president
For people quoting article 13 of the Lausanne treaty implying that Greece should keep islands demilitarised, I’m just gonna leave this piece of information here.
>The Aegean Army or Fourth Army is one of the four main formations of the Turkish Army. It covers the entire west coast of the Anatolia peninsula and has its headquarters in İzmir. It was organised in the 1970s in response to political tensions with Greece – the ongoing Aegean dispute.
>Its stated mission is to protect Turkey’s territory on its western coast. This is directed against the perceived threat posed by Greece’s armament of the Aegean Sea islands. Greece, on the other hand, perceives the presence of the Aegean Army as a threat to its islands, citing strong offensive capabilities ascribed to the Aegean Army as well as the exposed and isolated geographical position of the islands, the 5 most populous of which are several hundred kilometres distant from the Greek mainland, yet sit only 2-3km from Turkey’s, as reasons of concern. **Greek sources particularly point to the strong amphibian forces maintained by the Aegean Army as an indicator of its offensive nature.** Turkey has countered such concerns by stating that besides being of a fundamentally defensive nature it is “basically a training army”.
As a proud Greek islander, they can all suck our dicks – twice! Fuck off and get a life malakes
It’s time for EU to set up a policy about neighbors trying to steal EU territory. We should collectively promise that an attempt at stealing EU territory will end up in EU stealing your territory.
EU should tell to the turkish government that they’re welcome to try, and that if they do, EU will try to take Cyprus and the land west of the bosphorus. May the better army win.
They’ll think twice about it and go back to harassing smaller populations.
1. Gimme bombs
2. Ukraine gives bombs
3. Russia attacks
For the sake of Turkey I hope they don’t end up as a new Iran with Ayatollah Vladimir Erdoğanski.
Why does Turkey suddenly have a Russian accent?
Can’t wait for Turkey’s national troll army to enter this thread explaining things
The Putin play? Really, Erdy?
Go suck it rat face Cavusoglu !!!.
Coming from Erdogovernment these statements and the one about the potential operation in Syria are nothing but a distraction to prevent the public from focusing on the economic and illegal immigrant crisis. They are desperate to find any excuse to help them stay longer in power which is very dangerous.
Fuck off Turkey. Sweden stands with Greece.
So war is this years trend
Demilitarization demands? That sounds awfully familiar…
Never expected good old fashioned conquest in Europe to have been revived in the 2020’s
