(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Greece continues to raise tensions with regards to its ties with
Türkiye, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on Dec. 12 warning Greek
politicians to avoid provocative actions for their domestic
political considerations, trend reports citing hurriyet daily
news .
“Greece is making every attempt to increase the tension with
unreasonable, illogical and unlawful demands and claims, with
constant provocative actions and aggressive rhetoric,” Akar said in
his address to the commanders of the Turkish Armed Forces.
All kinds of“unfair and unlawful” actions of Greece were given
the necessary response in the diplomatic field within the scope of
reciprocity, he stated.
“It is not possible for us to allow any fait accompli. Our
expectation is that some Greek politicians and military figures
immediately abandon their intransigent and provocative attitudes
for domestic political purposes, focus on solving problems through
dialogue, and learn from history,” Akar said.
“Those who want their future to be good should turn from the
mistakes of yesterday and today,” he added.
Akar also said that despite the statements of the Turkish Armed
Forces (TAF) regarding the allegations that it used chemical
weapons, there are those who continue to“slander.”
The minister was referring to the allegations by the PKK
affiliated reports that the TAF used chemical weapons in its cross
border operations in Iraq.
“Our delegation from the Land Forces Command conducted
examinations in the region and collected samples. These samples
were examined by experts in the laboratories of the health
minister. As a result, they openly reported that there was no
evidence of any chemical weapons,” Akar stated.
