During an interview with TRT Haber TV channel on Sunday, January 1, Hulusi Akar, the Turkish National Defence Minister accused Athens of arranging provocations aimed at escalating tensions in the region.
“Although we extend the hand of peace, Greece insists on continuing its provocative actions and statements that constantly increase tension”, the head of the department told the news outlet.
He added: “This right is unconditional and cannot be called into question or negotiated with third parties. This is certainly the case for the whole country”, as reported by ekathimerini.com.
