Just because the sold-out media doesn't talk, doesn't mean it hasn't. We got there, for Turks to invade Greek territory and not to open their noses !!! Hello!
Turkish forces have been advancing on Greek soil in the Evros River for days, with the Greek side trying to downplay the issue. On the contrary, Turkey has reportedly strengthened its military presence on the ground.
The case also took on international dimensions, as there was a relevant publication of the English SUN. Following the publication of the issue, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took a step forward, however, earlier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, caused concern and reactions with his statement that “we do not want to create tensions with allies [...] we are talking about a few tens of meters ». Military sources confirmed to Tvxs.gr The incident.
The chronicle of the case
More specifically, this is an area in the southern part of Evros, at the apiary, which floods every year and the change of the riverbed creates islands like the one that have been occupied for days by the forces of 35 people of the Turkish Army and the special forces of the Police. It is an area of 16 acres where they have encamped and raised a Turkish flag.
The news was initially revealed by armyvoice.gr, who also published a relevant photo, while the case has been highlighted by British SUN, which speaks of "Turkish invasion" of Greek territory. According to the publication, it is "studied challenge in the context of the Turkish side's reaction to the planned expansion of the fence on the land border. "
"We do not want to create tensions. We are talking about a few tens of meters "
Asked about the issue and the occupation of Greek territory, the Foreign Minister tried to downplay the case: "I wish we could reach an agreement. There is a question of the exact limit, due to the changes in the riverbed. I told you this indirectly in the beginning, you did not notice it correctly, I also said it in a way. I do not like to create tensions between two countries that are allies. These things are solved without a single column being written in a newspaper. The appropriate measurements can be made well and, with a joint committee, all these things can be resolved. We are talking about a few tens of meters».
The lukewarm reaction and the submissiveness of the Greek side provoked reactions while, in the afternoon, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that, by order of the Minister Nikos Dendias, it has taken a step, but quite late, as Turkish forces have been on Greek soil for at least two days. Military sources, however, comment that the Greek side is very persistent in terms of rhetoric but completely submissive in practice, as the case of the Apiculture reveals. Some even use much harsher expressions for the Greek government's stance and speak of a rift in the Army's mindset in the region.
It has not been forgotten, after all, the case of Oruc Reis. The Turkish research vessel, accompanied by warships, had entered the Greek continental shelf in February, with the Greek government initially claiming to have left, but then "the winds pushed the ship into the Greek continental shelf", causing a stir among military analysts.
SYRIZA: There should be an immediate briefing of the political parties
The head of the National Defense Department, Thodoris Dritsas and Foreign Affairs, George Katrougalos of SYRIZA, issued a joint statement on the events in Evros, asking for immediate information from the political parties. «The government must immediately inform the political parties for the arbitrary, aggressive actions of Turkey that have been going on for two days in the border area of Evros and for the initiatives that it will take ", he states characteristically and adds:
"Yesterday, the foreign minister downgraded the issue, stressing that he did not intend to create tension on an issue that could be resolved by a joint committee. Does he think that Turkey did not create the tension? Do you think that the competent committee should have been convened before the Army Geographical Service took action in the area? What is the position of the Ministry of Defense on this issue? These issues require knowledge, composure, prudence and determination. The lack of strategy and the diplomatic vacuum that emerges in relation to Turkey poses obvious risks to the country.».
I believe that the issue is very serious as it must have been more than 75 years since a foreign state invaded Greek territory! And there is absolute silence, that is the annoying thing
