Excerpts from the Agar interview

Despite all our good faith efforts, some Greek politicians continue to engage in provocative actions and rhetoric. They are trying different ways to denigrate Turkey. They become ridiculous with baseless slurs that are not explained with logic and reason.

When we persistently invite them to a problem-solving meeting, they continue to avoid the conversation. And they behave like this, they lie that Turkey is the side avoiding negotiations. They are constantly complaining about Turkey to third parties like NATO, EU and USA. They try to turn our bilateral problems into a Turkey-NATO, Turkey-EU or Turkey-US problem.

They try to mislead the international public opinion with untrue claims about Turkey in every appropriate and inappropriate context. By doing so, they exhibit an unethical and diplomatic approach.

They are militarizing islands with civilian status in violation of treaties. This situation gives us the right of self-defense and makes the sovereignty of the islands disputed. When we say this, they raise a fuss that we are threatening their rule.

They are the ones who want the expanded (expanded) Castellorizo ​​to have a jurisdiction of 40 thousand square kilometers. They make a futile attempt to arm themselves with a false sense of threat. They have committed more than a thousand encroachments and nuisances since January 1. They do this and then call us expansionist and aggressive. Mercy! Either they don’t have a mirror at home or they are afraid to look at it. If they look, they will see their true faces and probably be ashamed.

Turkey is not a threat. Turkey is a strong, reliable and useful ally. Our goal is for the Aegean to be a sea of ​​peace and friendship for peace and stability and a fair distribution of all wealth. However, we have given the necessary response to all kinds of unfair and illegal attempts on the field and at the table and will continue to do so in the future. Let them know this.

It should not be forgotten how serious were the consequences of an adventure that had begun in reliance on others a century earlier, even the Greek people did not approve of this invasion attempt, and not even three prime ministers, two ministers and their generals. Those responsible for this attempted invasion were sentenced to death. One should learn from history. (someone) to hold the hand of friendship that we patiently offer.

Conditionalizing the sale of F-16s is unacceptable. There should be no situations that tie our hands. America must take an institutional stance.

The Ukraine crisis has once again demonstrated that a strong Turkey is essential for Europe, for regional stability and security, and for NATO. Blind eyes saw it, deaf ears heard it.

Our priority is to acquire and modernize the F-16 aircraft that we have in our inventory and that we use effectively. Our plans are in this direction. But of course we have alternatives.
