New provocative statements by Devlet Bahçeli against Greece
Published
In a new escalation of his rhetoric, Devlet Bahçeli, leader of the far-right MHP party and government partner of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, launched an attack against Greece. His statements caused a stir, as they called into question our country's security in the international environment.
Mr. Bahçeli argued that Greece cannot feel safe, regardless of the alliances it chooses to form. These statements are part of a broader context of provocative positions frequently expressed by the Turkish politician, who consistently maintains a hardline stance against Greek interests.
Analysts point out that such statements by Turkish government officials create a tense climate in bilateral relations. Despite efforts to maintain channels of communication between Athens and Ankara, this rhetoric hinders the attempt for meaningful de-escalation in the Aegean region.
The Greek side is closely monitoring developments, emphasizing the need for respect for international law and the rules of good neighborliness. Stability in the Eastern Mediterranean remains a central goal of Greek foreign policy, despite the continuous provocations from the neighboring country.
