Tensions are yet again flaring up between Turkey and Greece, as Turkey is a persistent provocateur. This time the tension is over the Greek presence in the Aegean Islands.
“These islands are Greek territory but according to international law, Athens cannot place soldiers there.” However, Turkey has been routinely bullying and threatening Greece, leaving Greece with no choice but to move to defend its sovereignty. Now Turkey is crying foul over the situation it created.
At the end of August, Erdogan restated repeatedly his goal of a revived Ottoman Empire. In June, he threatened Greece, and warned it “to stay away from actions that will result in regret, just as they did a century ago.”
Turkey’s ongoing provocation and vendetta against Greece recently prompted EU’s current president, the Czech Republic, to rebuke Turkey for not only threatening Greece, but also for claiming that “Kurdish terrorists have been training in Greece.” Two longtime Erdogan obsessions are Greece and the Kurds, both of which are forced to act in self-defense.
A couple weeks ago, “Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias asked NATO, European Union partners and the United Nations to formally condemn what he described as ‘outrageous and increasingly aggressive talk by Turkish officials.’”
Experts are warning that Turkish-Greek tensions threaten to disrupt NATO unity, as both countries are NATO members. Turkey, however, does not belong in NATO, and should long ago have been thrown out.
“Tensions after Turkey accuses Greece of militarising Aegean islands,” Euronews, September 29, 2022:
It’s with great fanfare that the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, attended the naming ceremony of a newly built warhsip – Vlahakos.
The goal was to send a clear message to Turkey after numerous days of tensions and threats between both nations over Greek military build up on the Samos (1.3km from Turkey) and Lesbos (15km fron Turkish coast) islands.
Without naming Turkey, Mitsotakis said during the press conference: “(History) has taught that whoever violates borders is punished. There is no place for imperial visions in the 21st century, and would-be local bullies have no place.”
In response to Ankara’s accusations of Greece sending military vehicles to the Aegean islands, Athens alleged Turkey conducted illegal military drills near its borders.
The Greek Prime minister claimed that “[Greece’s] borders are blue and not gray” and stressed that the strengthening of the Armed Forces is a priority for the government.
Greece and Turkey have feuded for years over maritime borders in the Aegean and east Mediterranean seas.
After a brief calm in March, tension has been rising steadily between the two neighbors for several months.
In mid-September, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Greece of “occupying” the Aegean islands.

In the meantime, good news on the Armenian front. India, which supports Armenia in its conflict w/ Azerbaijan/Turkey, has agreed to sell them $250 million worth of rocket launchers, angering both Turkey & Pakistan 😈😆

Infidel,
I also came across the “holy” trinity of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Pakistan coming together to pummel Armenia. Surprisingly, Israel is on the side of Azerbaijan as it selling military hardware to that country. It is said that India can chip in with better weapons/aircrafts like Tejas and Brahmos to tackle the “successful” Bayraktar suicide drones. Hope the world recognizes the evil nature of islam in every pockets of the globe. As India is mired with perpetual hostility with Pakistan and it is bound to have soft corner for Armenia besides the business prospects in arms sales. Armenia has recently increased the defense spending by 50% as it lost the battle of 2019 or 2020 because of Russian “backed” ceasefire. All said and done the Armenia Vs Azerbaijan war wont ever end thanks to islam, which is a common knowledge for all JW contributors/commentators/visitors et al.

Interestingly, this is also the first time India and Israel are supporting opposing sides of a conflict. Usually, it’s India that’s in the wrong, but not this time
Infidel says
On this topic itself, I do hope that the Turks are right, and that the Greeks indeed have been militarizing the Aegean. Like Armenia, they too should sign arms deals w/ India and if possible, Israel, and totally load up every island in their control. And not hesitate to take out Incirlik if it comes to war

the modern ottomaniac empire chalifate, of the multibillion dollar palace sultan, upon the starving impoverished but regardlessly fanatic muslim people of turkey have gotten sick of islamization since the islamic brutal massacres and slavery of civilians in syria and iraq….
timelessly, the resources of petrol and gas that according to intenational maritime law belong to greece and its exploitation has been undermined (silently before, louder and louder since 2010) by the turkish state….
now, the modern ottomans threaten directly with war because the resourses have started being exploited….
the modern ottomaniacs want to either push greece to accept to share these resources, or start actual war…
the reason is that the hellenic economy will develop when it exploits these resources, and turkey will loose control of certain assets in greece…. greece will get over its financial crisis…
it comes 200 years from the begining of the revolution that liberated greeks from the former ottomaniac empire, that turks want to completely satanically enslave the remaining greeks, with the rest of the europeans to follow…

The evil Erdogan is on the warpath make no mistake about that. He is such a megalomaniac that he actually believes himself to be the mahdi, and it’s only a matter of time before he launches an attack on Greece. In a rally the other week he said to the crowd, “are you ready for the attack in 2023”. Anyone thinks he’s bluffing, because I don’t. He’s a very very dangerous man indeed.
somehistory says
When one such as this ghoulish maniac makes a decision, no matter how fool-hardy, he must go with it; and he made that decision years ago. All of his posturing, threats, demands, evil actions everywhere…in the U.S.; regarding nato, migrants, syria, etc. has been with that decision in mind.
He is determined to be the one and only world leader, even leading to Armageddon and his total destruction.
John ..Smith says
Somehistory,
As you are well aware islam is the antithesis of Christianity, everything is in reverse, everything. Their so called messiah the mahdi is actually the Christian anti -christ, and Jesus the real messiah is their anti-christ, it’s all in reverse.
allah’s apostle said.”The most awful name in allah’s sight on the day of resurrection will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the King of Kings) and you and I both know who that is. It’s Jesus.
somehistory says
Yes, John. satan made himself the arch enemy of God, Jesus, faithful angels and all of mankind when he rebelled and lied to Eve.
the demon snake is still lying…using humans to lie for him. his hatred for God, Jesus and Christians is causing him great anger and he is determined to wipe the earth clean of all before he is thrown into the abyss prepared for him and hi demon angels.
he was thrown out of heaven and is about to be taken from the earth for the good of all who love what is right.

I keep saying that Turkey will make a move to take over the rest of Cyprus, the Aegean islands, or worse.
Every day I am more convinced—Erdogan is a madman.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
As the previous article on pan-Turkism noted, Erdogan sees himself as the greatest Turk of all times – above Tamerlane, Mehmet the conqueror, Mahmoud of Ghazni and so on. He wants to unite all lands that were ever parts of various Turkic empires, and hence this project
He’s eyeing Greece, and I’m pretty sure that if that works, Bulgaria, Serbia and other Balkan countries are next
