Turkish President Erdogan’s top advisor, Yigit Bulut, unleashed new threats against Greece, warning that Turkey would annihilate Greece in a matter of 3 to 4 hours if it declared war on Turkey.
According to a Turkish journalist, who posted the relevant video on Twitter, the belligerent adviser is heard saying that “Greece will totally end up in a catastrophe within three to four hours if it wages a war against #Turkey”. He claims Greece was provoked by major powers to attack Turkey, citing an incident with a Greek frigate “Nikiphoros Fokas” which had recently intercepted the Turkish search and exploration vessel “Barbaros” in the Mediterranean Sea.
