Greek formal complain to Turkey for the threats to Greek islands – Turkish media speak of Turkish military intervention

The Foreign Ministry underlined to the Turkish side the strong dissatisfaction of Greece, as well as its protest against the recent statements of Turkish officials, who questioned the Greek sovereignty over the Aegean islands, accusations that of course the Greek side rejects as illegal.

Speaking to CNN Turk, strategic analyst Abdullah Ciftci describes when will be the best time for Turkey to invade the Greek islands.

“Due to China, the disintegration within the EU will grow and interests will stand out. There are problems with Poland and Hungary within the EU. NATO (purpose) may be questioned. Then I believe that Turkey will be able to go ahead with the operation it wants on the islands. And not now. Now Turkey is fighting in the diplomatic arena, but I believe that in the future it will have this opportunity”, Ciftci bluntly said, with the journalist seeming to agree with his views…
