Erdoğan: Greece has turned into a US military base
Greece, as a whole, has turned into a U.S. military base,” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Thursday.
The Turkish leader was referring to United States’ numerous military installations in Greece’s Alexandroupoli (Dedeağaç).
Greece is condemning irregular migrants at sea to death, Erdoğan also added.
“We have all the proof showing their actions,” he said.
“It is Greece that is condemning them to death by puncturing the boats of migrants,” the president underlined.
“We have all the proof.”
“You can fool the world by accusing Turkey,” Erdoğan also said. “But you can’t fool us.”
Erdoğan also accused Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of lying about the migration crisis.
“Saying that the migration crisis is rooted from Turkey is ingratitude,” Erdoğan emphasized, while reminding that Turkey hosts around 5 million migrants, 4 million of which are Syrians.
