Turkey continues its provocative stance against Greece but this time they brought it to a whole new level. It was the head of Tayyip Erdogan’s advisers Yigit Bulut’s turn again to directly threatened the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, ministers and all Greek officials.
In particular, Bulut appeared on a television show and referring to the Imia crisis of 1996, he said:
Athens will feel the wrath of Turkey, worse than Afrin. We will break the arms and legs of officials, the Prime Minister or any minister who will dare to step his foot onto Imia in the Aegean.
It should be reminded that on Sunday Turkish ships attempted to prevent Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos from reaching the area around Imia to pay his respects to the three fallen Greek Navy Aviation officers that fell during the 1996 crisis.
