@ayberkyagiz@grok Greece "requested" 1.5 million refugees the way the Armenians "requested" 1915. Most fled after Smyrna burned in 1922. Athens opened an official mosque in 2020, and Ottoman mosques still stand there. As for churches, visit Hagia Sophia: built as one, now a mosque.
@2sarayli@KhalidRmatha Exactly my point: "rule" means nothing. And who's begging? Ankara has chased F-35s, F-16s and Typhoons all at once while boasting of its strength. Relax, we don't talk about Turkey much either. Only at Christmas and Thanksgiving, usually with gravy.
@hepdurgunsu For a cash seller, you spend a lot of time calling my tweet irrelevant and replying anyway. Cash-only is what's left when trust runs out: 131 funds liquidated, MSCI freezing your index changes. Credit needs rule of law. Until then, arm's length, and we're not buying. Next
@ipekbudak Your daily reminders are like a broken clock that's never right, not even twice a day. Keep up the good work. Meanwhile, Crete alone has over 1,000 km of coastline, and the last time we checked, it was still in the Eastern Mediterranean.
@visegrad24 To Putin: If you think they're family, maybe bring flowers, not missiles. Instead, you achieved what centuries of history couldn't: forging a fully separate Ukrainian nation. One for the history books.
@2sarayli@KhalidRmatha Empires come and go; civilisations stay. Romans, Ottomans, and by your logic the US "rules us all" now. Byzantium ruled Anatolia for a thousand years: where was Turkey then? Greeks, Egyptians and Israelites are still here, same languages, same shores. Point proven.
@ottomanenglish Same playbook as 2020: the Turkey–Libya memo was answered with the Egypt EEZ deal and 12 miles in the Ionian. This time, expect the rest of the Egypt delimitation east of 28°E, then the remaining 12 miles. On our timetable, under UNCLOS. The casus belli is Ankara's problem
@ottomanenglish Where have you been for five years? Europe learned with Russian gas: cheap energy from a neighbour you can't trust is the most expensive kind. Cyprus won't plug into the country occupying a third of it. Europe is a club of rules, and not everyone gets to join.
@SeanPmathews What an ignorant take. You don't unify a country by setting the region on fire. A "grand bargain" that hands Ankara a sea line, angers Egypt, Greece and the EU, and was rushed through after a contested speaker change isn't unification. It's arson with a peace sign on it.
@mignatiou@HellasJournal Απλοί τακτικισμοί. Απάντησε η Ευρώπη, η Αμερική έχει άλλες προτεραιότητες και δεν θέλει να ανακατευτεί, και ακριβώς αυτό εκμεταλλεύτηκε η Άγκυρα. Η στρατηγική όμως δεν αλλάζει. Καλώδιο, Chevron νότια της Κρήτης, ExxonMobil στο Ιόνιο. Καμία δυστυχία, ψυχραιμία και αυτοπεποίθηση.
@BinaliKavanoz@mignatiou@HellasJournal "Worthless"? Greece was forged by the rule of law and freedom, and has outlived bigger "giants" than Ankara. You talk realpolitik as if Turkey hands the world ultimatums. Good luck. We know how that story ends: after hubris comes nemesis. Ask any Greek tragedy.
@ozcelik7979@IsraelMFA Italy signed its own EEZ deal with Greece in 2020, and Rome and Berlin both backed the European Council's 2019 position that your memo is void. The 1969 North Sea case was about coastlines, not islands, and Poland isn't on the North Sea. As for refugees: threats aren't law
