The Turks appear to be following Goebbels’ edict: “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
“Turkey’s Military to Respond to Greek ‘Provocations’ in Aegean,” by Taylan Bilgic, Bloomberg, October 3, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Turkey warned Greece that acts of “provocation” in the Aegean Sea between the two nations won’t go unanswered.
Speaking to a group of reporters on Sunday, Defense Ministry spokeswoman Pinar Kara accused Greece of “unlawful, provocative and aggressive” action in the Aegean.
Military drills around Greece’s Chios Island in the North Aegean, which at its closest point is only about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the Turkish coast, and a scientific research vessel that entered contested waters are the most recent provocations, she said.
Turkey and Greece, both NATO members, have been at odds for decades over contested territorial waters in the Aegean Sea. Athens and Ankara are also in conflict over the future of divided Cyprus.
Turkey “continues to defend its rights and interest over our seas with determination,” Kara said. “Our navy, armed forces and air forces have orders in this respect,” she said, without specifying what the orders were. …

Pure projection. Islam is simply superb at producing deluded followers who excel at projection. All totalitarian ideologies have this in common.
mortimer says
It is a perfect instance of psychological projection, indeed. It neither unlawful, provocative or aggressive for a country to defend its own borders against invaders sent by a neighboring state.
Muslims have mastered the art of psychological projection so well that it is perfectly natural and spontaneous.
Mohammed in the Sira and hadiths is seen projecting his own aggression upon his peaceful, tolerant neighbors in order to inflame his followers to attack them. He used the accusation of violence, so he could denounce violence in order to provoke violence.

Projection is right. The Turks commit the provocations. They’ll keep pushing, pushing, pushing. I just hope Greece keeps pushing back.
Infidel says
Greece needs not only to build up its army, but to nuke up as well. Unfortunately, they have a crummy economy, thanks to socialism, or else, they would have had the cash they needed to scare of Turkey and anyone else (like Albania) who might even think of threatening them

ankara claims over territorial water that belong to greece (intrernally they claim dozens of greek islands) is clear violations of the international law of the sea and refuses any right to greek islands to have any territorial waters whatsoever, in contradiction to the international maritime laws…
cyprous is not divided, it is under occupation for more than 40 years after the turkish invasion there….
of course the modern ottomaniac empire of the sultan is the ones making provocations but the turkish claims have been made no more than ten years now and under the head terrorist sultan and not decades…
further more turkey has chosen to cause a very hot incident soon or even a full scale war after years of hybrid war against greece, on the anniversary of 200 years from the begining of the revolution against the ottomaniac empire that liberated us from the turkish barbaric rule of the ottomaniacs…
turkey apart from using gebels tactics uses every national anniversary, celebration holiday or religious event day to perform its provocations and darken those days in order to perform its psychological war…
and i reach to the conclusion, ottomaniac provocative statements and military actions together with a psychological and hybrid war that turkey is waging against greece has no other purpose but to weaken the country before a full scale war that the modern ottomaniac sultan plans for greece… they are at war with all of the sourounding countries and it seems right now and before the new armaments of greece that are moving forward turkey is ready to start this full scale war soon if not just now…..
the war with islam takes flesh and bones in that region…there has been war between islam and greece since the mongols arrived in that area from the byzantine times… with the latest in cyprous which i repeat, is under occupation by the ottomaniacs for more than 40 years now…
