Turkey: “We lowered all flags from the rocks & sent videos to Greece”

Greece "will pay a heavy price if it does not change its behavior"

Newsroom April 23 10:24

Yigit Bulut, the head adviser to the Turkish President provokes once again by saying that “it would be a shame for us to wage war on Greece for ‘technical reasons’. It would be like an adult beating a child cradle”.

He claimed that members of the Turkish Special Forces did not lower just one a flag, as Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said, but they have “lowered the flags” in one night “all the flags from the disputed rocky islands”.

“Now, it would be embarrassing to wage a war against #Greece from a technical point of view. It almost like a grown man hitting a baby in the crib when looked at the balance of power between #Turkey and Greece”, says president #Erdogan‘s chief advisor Yigit Bulut in state TV. pic.twitter.com/k6hwIKX9Wt

Bulut, finally warned Greece that “will pay a heavy price if it does not change its behavior”.
