1. Interesting.

2. There was a video of it in r/askbalkans. Not so arguably.

3. If greeks want a war so badly, we should just give it.

4. Greece: HELP the Turks are threatening us and are hostile neighbors!

   Also Greece:

5. Surely a violation of international law, its a ro-ro ship and there is no way they are mistaken this one as something belongs to army or something like that.

   I know Turkiye is also arming borders and showing aggressive behavior (and its definitely not ok, damn you erdog) but this is the second time Greece did something just unacceptable. I kinda feel like they are provoking us to attack first so they can make us look like Russia to Europe.

   As a Turkish 20yo guy who can’t escape from this hell, a war is the last thing that I want.

   Edit: “civil boat” fixed as “ro-ro ship”

   Edit: Of course Im getting downvoted cuz Im Turkish and telling that I dont want a war, thats who you really are. Fascist war lovers.

6. I don’t understand the reasoning behind this.

7. Can’t see the shot nor hear the impact, you hear guns firing, then they show impacts. There’s nothing in that video that proves it’s the guards that made the impacts. Audio edition being a thing I’m going to doubt until further proof.

   It’s hard to believe that coast guards would pick some random ship in international water to shot at.

8. The notion that Greece wants war with Turkey is ridiculous. It is just reacting to constant Turkish provocation and trying to protect itself. And Turkey knows this. So does the rest of the world

9. Greece did nothing wrong.

10. Tbh this video proves nothing.

    About international waters we all know well how turks interpret maps and territorial waters so I ain’t buying this.

    Nice try though.

11. Holy Greece never does anything wrong. The Turks must have done something. After all, aren’t they Turks (!)

    A treaty to which Turkey is not a party cannot be imposed on Turkey

12. I’m going to wait until more information comes out before I make any judgements, and everybody else should as well.

13. This is getting pretty bad pretty quick.

14. Playing double agent and having no international friends sucks, doesn’t it?

15. OP, make sure to post a translated copy of the article in the comments ASAP.

16. Lmao, people trying to defend Greece opening fire on a civilian ship. Hypocrisy of this sub..

17. Turkey accusing Greece of starting war. This is Putins playbook translated to Turkish

18. Turkey says Greece pushes back migrants

    Greece denies and everyone believes.

    Turkey says Greece harassed a ship

    Greeks denies and everyone believes

    Meanwhil…

19. Erdogan-turks-bad. Greek good. Turkish ship – fuck – they deserve – Erdo – cockroaches – Turkish rag – its a lie – Erdo Erdo – lets hate erdo- Greek good – democracy – greek invented all – greek good – turk bad. Erdo bad. So turk is bad. downwote downwote.

20. I’ll wait for an impartial report to see if it’s in international waters or not as Turkey’s definition of international waters is different.

21. Who invokes article 5 if both parties are in NATO.

22. If this is true, than congrats on starting world war |||

23. Turks hoping to get some fair treatment of benefit of the doubt from “Europeans” in this forum is nigh impossible. Everyone already made-up their minds. Any sort of reassessment already sailed for Valinor long time ago.

24. Another bullshit of the many. They can make up anything nobody gives a fuck.

25. Shooting at a civilian ship..

    Greece is trying to start a war, relying on its “allies”. He will continue to cry when he gets what he wants.

26. [removed]

27. Greece is always the barking small dog, Türkiye never gives a f*ck until a bite.

28. No impossible Greeks never do something wrong they are white Christians and media tells us that Greece is harmless and is only protecting itself.

    There is never black and white, but grey, except for bird country they are always wrong and poor poor Greece has to deal with them. They are so helpless against Turks it‘s not like they have an alliance with France that is aimed against Turkey and have the US and EU behind them. The Turks clearly want to provoke a war by sailing in international water😡 Don‘t they know international water was Greek 2500 years ago they can‘t just sail there. Also these barbarians fly over the Aegean see although its Greek! It‘s so Greek that they decided to make their coast and airspace 10nm long althougj normally its just 6nm. Haha get owned Mongols😂🤓

29. Europa white The greeks, Cross on constantinople, hurraye. turks go back to sandland

30. I think this a coordinated spread of “news”.
    Suddenly, in more than three subreddits an article like this appears.

    Moreover, l haven’t heard anything from my local and national news about anything related with this “incident”.

    This kinda seems like propaganda to me.

31. Two things are infinite: the universe and the amount of Turkish nationalists on r/europe, and I’m not sure about the universe.

32. r/europe rule 51: If you post something about turkey, expect hate

33. Guys, stop just assuming that this isn’t true. Wait for more confirmation.

    Can’t fathom why greece would do this, but who knows.

34. Not to be biased but that video doesn’t show Greeks firing on the ship? Videos can be manipulated and this video seemed to be a low effort one
