ANKARA – Turkey continues to suggest military action against Greece in disputes over the seas, drilling for energy and demanding Greek troops be taken off Aegean islands, claiming a conflict would be done in “self-defense.”

He also reiterated claims that Greece is trying to keep Turkey from getting US-made F-16 fighter jets after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in an address to the US Congress urged the sale pushed by President Joe Biden be vetoed.
“(Greece)not only went to the US to tell them not to give us the F-16s, they also went to Germany and asked them not to give us the submarines,” Akar said, accusing Mitsotakis and Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias of “using aggressive rhetoric and aggressive actions to spoil the potential positive climate that could be created between the two countries.”
