Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (68) indirectly threatened to launch a missile attack in the dispute over the Greek islands in the eastern Mediterranean if Greece “does not calm down”. Erdogan said Sunday evening in a meeting with young men in Samsun, northern Turkey, that Greece is concerned because the Turkish-developed “Tayfon” missile may also hit Athens.
“Of course, this production makes the Greeks nervous. I mentioned Tayfun and the Greek became nervous.” The Greeks said that the missile could hit Athens. “Yes, of course you will,” he added. If Greece does not settle on the islands, “if it tries to take something from us here and there, then of course a country like Turkey will not stand idly by and do something.”
Turkey challenges Greek sovereignty over many inhabited and uninhabited Greek islands in the eastern Mediterranean and demands the withdrawal of all Greek forces from those islands. The situation between the two NATO partners in the Aegean Sea is very tense at the moment. Erdogan had repeatedly threatened Greece in the past few weeks with the phrase: “We could come suddenly one night.”
The range of the “Typhoon” ballistic missile, developed by the arms manufacturer Roketsan, is estimated to be at least 300 kilometers, according to state broadcaster TRT. The missile was successfully tested in the Black Sea in October. (SDA/chs)
