Turkish President Erdogan: East Aegean Islands Belong to Turkey



Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was provocative in statements made concerning the islands of the east Aegean that are under Greek ownership according to the terms of the Lausanne Treaty. Speaking on the occasion of 93 years since the creation of the Turkish Democracy, Erdogan said that these islands belong to Turkey.

“I am giving a history lesson here. I spoke of the Lausanne Treaty and people were bothered. Why? The islands under our noses, I am shouting that these are our islands,” said Erdogan. “I am yelling that these are our islands.

At these islands we have our history, our monuments, our mosques. They are still bothered when we say it. Why?” “Those who signed are responsible,” he said, insinuating Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish state.

Greek diplomatic sources state that Erdogan’s rhetoric is for internal fodder, to attack the Kemalist opposition and to indicate the Turkish leader’s claims on Mosul.

[...]

The Greeks call it provocative. I call it realistic forecast. I am fundamentally for an Operation Aegean Shield, which should be parallel to the Operation Euphrates Shield in Syria.

Give them nothing, but take from them, everything!

Always these brotherly animosities between Turks and Greeks.

I support these recent developments. So many people seem to dislike Erdogan but honestly he seems like the perfect leader for Turkey. Very "Ottoman" which is good in bringing together all the local minorities under one label and also setting a good direction for national expansion.

If Turkey keeps growing and globalization keeps happening then it is only a matter of time before modern Greece is RIP in peace'd imo. At some level the rest of Europe has taken the hint as the "Chameria" issue keeps being mentioned more and more, feels like the groundwork is being laid for something.

So yeah if you're Turkish and you don't vote Erdogan then wtf are you doing with your life.

Non-Türk Islamists often blame Atatürk a lot because they think he destroyed the element which United ethnics (Kurds, Georgians, Çerkez, Alboetc) people with Türks, referring to Caliphate and sharia state. According to these people it's also Atatürk who destroyed the empire. It's a crazy intellectual backward situation. Ottoman Empire was already completely destroyed, degenerated, backward, bankrupt. All non-Muzzie ethnics rebelled. Of the Muslims, Albanians and Arabs openly rebelled and separated. Kurds and esp. Circassians also had some activities. In an environment like this, The Anglo-Saxon Imperialism told Turks clearly to either accept Lausanne or Türks as nation will be wiped from earth's face (England+France takes West Turkey, and east Turkey for Soviets). Atatürk simply did the best, he served the nation at a critical time. Someone must explain to Islamists that their ethnik brothers in religion were backstabbing the Turkish forces, from behind Turkish lines during the Greek-Turkish war.
These ethnic Muzzie people never talk how ethnik Muzzie Ottoman subject contributed to the destruction of the empire (Arab,Kurd, Circassian, Albanian etc). They try to hide these facts and just attack Turkish Nationalists who created a modern Turkish nation state, republic. I think they are jaleous that Turks emphasize ethnicity so they call Turks to just identify as Muslim like in the past centuries. IMO That won't happen though. In its basic core Neo-Ottomanism is simply ethnik people asking Turks to share what belongs to Türks with them. The question is: why should Turks do it? We don't want Arab Mosul, Georgian Batum, Aegen islands now populated by Rums at 100%.
