Turkey has been challenging Greece’s sovereignty for some time, bullying Greece with provocative statements and threats of war.
Turkey is an Islamic country with a president who has ambitions of a revived Ottoman Empire. Turkey should not be in NATO.
In December, Turkey threatened Greece, warning that Greece could lose sovereignty of the Aegean islands. Last month, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavusoglu accused Greece of ‘”sponsoring terrorists,” and warned that “they will pay a heavy price.” A week prior to that, Joe Biden’s handlers ditched Greece’s EastMed pipeline project to ship Israeli gas to Europe in order to appease Turkey, which further emboldened the Turks.
Only three weeks ago, Greek City Times reported that Turkey violated Greek airspace 60 times in a single day.
Now that the world is focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, woe be unto Greece. Turkey is taking full advantage, again violating Greece’s sovereignty. Note the persistent harassment and intimidation tactics routinely used by Turkey against Greece.
A global shift is happening swiftly in the absence of America. Respect for its figurehead president Joe Biden is in short supply.
