Newsroom January 15 07:46

“Greece is harassing our borders every day,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said while attending the inauguration ceremony of Marmaris-Datca road, the Milas drinking water treatment plant, and Halicarnassus State Hospital as well as other completed projects on Mentese Avenue Ataturk, continuing his provocative rhetoric against Greece.

Addressing Turkish citizens, Erdogan initially said: “As long as Greece behaves well, we have no business and it does not need to fear missiles.” And he added, insisting on Turkish fake news: “Greece harasses our borders every day”.

In particular, he said: “My brothers, can someone who shows off and disrespectfully insults the commanders of our army, who did not show or could not show a reaction, against Greece, which harasses our borders every day, against the PKK, which has the blood of tens of thousands of innocents on his hands, against FETO, the biggest treacherous gang our country has seen recently, in the countries that target our sovereignty and the enemies of Turkey and the Turkish nation, be a politician of this country? My brothers, according to our constitution, this brother of yours is the commander-in-chief of this army. Our constitution says so, not me.”

The Turkish president then noted: “We can and will come suddenly overnight. They cannot tolerate the fact that Turkey is able to design and produce its own products in every area of ​​the defence industry, from land to air, from sea to cyberspace.”
