Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu openly threatened Greece during a joint press conference with his German counterpart Haiko Maas, despite the fact that the latter had taken care to address appeals to the Turkish side, not to return to the practices of tension.
“Greece should not be influenced by other countries and do exercises wherever it wants and any other steps. Otherwise we will not only have an accident, but we will do what we have to do” said Çavuşoğlu, while focusing again on the continental shelf of Kastellorizo claiming that “Greece is claiming sea space for an island 2 km from Turkey.”
“Greece talks about international law, but does not implement the rulings of the International Court of Human Rights,” added the Turkish Foreign Minister, claiming that the members of the Muslim minority of Thrace “should be called Turks”.
Regarding the upcoming exploratory contacts, Çavuşoğlu stated that “what was discussed in the previous 60 rounds, will be discussed in the 61st”.
Prior to his visit to Turkey, Haiko Maas stressed that “this game of playing with fire must not be repeated.”
