Stop militarising Aegean islands, Turkey’s Erdogan tells Greece
Al JazeeraAPR 2022
Türkiye is purposely misinterpreting documents to pressure Greece into leaving the Aegean islands unprotected. The whole situation seems to be a propaganda stunt by Erdoğan and increases tensions in the region at a time when NATO cohesion is vital.
Greece is acting in bad faith with its actions in the Aegean Sea. When these islands were ceded from Ankara to Athens, it was agreed that they would never be militarized. Greek posturing will only enflame regional tensions.
