Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued his provocative statements against Greece, following up on his recent threats that the Turkish military would come one night to Greece.

Addressing Turkish journalists, Erdogan went so far as to say Greece was a “threat mechanism”, in his ongoing gaslighting, constantly distorting facts regarding the rising tensions between the two countries in the region.

The president of Turkey described Greece’s attitude towards his country as “inexplicable”, choosing to distort the truth again for which he has received answers from the Greek authorities: “On the one hand, there are violations in the Aegean, there are harassments against our aircraft, some of which are carrying out NATO missions, there are intrusive actions up to the blocking of radars with S-300 missiles.”

Recep Tayyip Erdogan also complained, about the “criticism” he has received about the S-400s Turkey procured from Russia: “Have you ever heard anything about Greece’s S-300s from those who talked about our own S-400s? The S-300s are also Russian and the S-400s are Russian. But they don’t say anything about it.”

“They continue to militarise the islands right under our noses in violation of the demilitarised status based on conditions while at the same time there is, of course, the establishment of bases, ” Erdogan continued his delirium, accusing the US of “leading this.”

Continuing in the same provocative tone, as reported by the correspondent of SKAI, the president of Turkey also referred to the “maximalist positions that try to impose on us in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean in the context of maritime jurisdictions “.

“There is nothing that can be accepted. Instead of talking directly to Turkey, they [Greece] work almost like a threat mechanism, constantly protesting about us to the United Nations, the US, the European Union, and even NATO, of which we are one of the strongest members. Of course, this cannot be accepted,” continued Erdogan, who made sure to close his provocative reports with a veiled threat: “Whatever language they understand, we open parentheses and speak in that language. I realise that they understand it too.”
