Turkey has lashed out at Germany over comments by its foreign minister expressing concern over the recent escalation of aggressive rhetoric against Greece and violations of the country’s airspace.
In a statement released on Thursday, the spokesperson for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanju Bilgic, dismissed German Foreign Minister Christian Wagner’s comments as “unacceptable” and accused him of being “biased.”
“It is unacceptable for the German spokesperson to make unfounded allegations against our country, even though Greece is the party that violates our country’s airspace, conducts flights over our mainland and harasses our airplanes. We would like to remind you that Turkey is not the party that announced that it has frozen meetings [between the two sides], using the latest tension as an excuse. We invite you once again not to make any biased comments,” Bilgic said.
Sign that Germany did something right.
> It is unacceptable for the German spokesperson to make unfounded allegations against our country
Unfounded? Is that guy for real?
Delusional as Lavrov.
Wake up babe, the thanksgiving bird is angry again.
I just want to point that out one of the main reasons President Erdogan has managed to accumulate power and build a strong base over these years is because Germany was very lax on his provocations and taking a passive stance, possibly in an attempt to secure the votes of the Turkish population in the country.
Its nice that they finally acknowledge the real problem, but I doubt they have learned anything from their mistakes.
LOL. Wagner is a journalist, not “German Foreign Minister”. Baerbock is Germany’s minister for foreign affairs.
