Erdogan Ramps Up Greek Invasion Threat As Turkey Ready To Strike ‘In Middle Of Night’

Erdogan has ramped up Greek invasion threat as Turkey is ready to strike ‘in middle of night’.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Recep Tayyip Erdoan has doubled down on his threat about a potential invasion of Greece saying Ankara will strike against anyone interfering with Turkey’s objectives in the Aegean Sea.

Turkey and Greece have been at loggerheads for decades over who holds overall control of the Aegean Islands, with a recent oil deal between Ankara and Libya further fanning the discontent.

Erdoğan said this week during a meeting in Prague that he is ready to take up arms against Athens and anyone else who “bothers” Turkey. Asked whether he was serious with his threat, Erdogan told the press: “This not only applies to Greece but whiter country bothers us, attacks us, our response will always be to say that we may suddenly come in the middle of the night.

“They should know and understand it like this.

“As you understood what this is all about, perhaps they [Greek authorities] should have understood it as such as well.”

Erdogan said there was nothing worth discussing with Greece at the moment and accused Athens of basing its policies on “lies.”

He said: “They are not where they are supposed to be.

“Their entire policy is based on lies, they are not honest. We have nothing to discuss with Greece.”

Ankara announced earlier this week they had struck an agreement with Tripoli to conduct joint exploration of reserves of hydrocarbon in Libya’s national territory.

Greece has however hit back at the memorandum claiming it would infringe on Greek waters.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu hit back at the claims, and warned Athens’ partners in NATO should “not expect friendship” were they to back Greece’s alleged control over the area.

“Because Turkey will not bow down to such acts. Turkey will take necessary steps in Cyprus.”
