During his two-day visit to Greece, where he made well-intentioned and solution-oriented proposals and statements, Foreign Minister Çavusoglu stated that Greece should not use the EU as a trump card, and drew attention to a fact by saying, "not the EU, but we can solve the problems." However, considering that the problems between us and Greece are becoming unresolved day by day and Greece is primarily responsible for this, it is necessary to see that coming together to solve the problems between the two countries has become inoperable. In particular, it is a fact that Greece has made it the basis of its foreign policy to escape from tables at every opportunity and to put the responsibility on Turkey.
Considering what happened in Cyprus and the fact that Turkey had to intervene to protect our cognates there, and constantly trying to use the Aegean and Mediterranean islands against Turkey, Greece never gave up and tried to use the plan to confine Turkey to profit borders, Greece's It is also seen that it is not a realistic approach to expect the EU to stop using it as a trump card. At this point, when it is remembered that the strategy of Greece to use the EU is not only an approach of their own, and the EU is using Greece against Turkey, I think that the incident is not only a Turkey-Greece relationship, but it is necessary to see that the EU exhibits a Crusader solidarity. As such, I think Turkey should first place its relations with the EU on a real ground. As such, our officials must, at every opportunity, abandon presenting the EU as an inescapable and to be achieved goal. Because it seems that Greece has goals that it considers indispensable in matters such as the Mediterranean, the Aegean, Cyprus, and even Western Thrace. It seems inevitable that Turkey will determine a new foreign policy regarding the EU and Greece, in an environment where the Crusader union called the EU is also constantly supporting Greece so that they do not give up on these goals.
Meanwhile, the fact that Greece mentions the Turks in Western Thrace as a Muslim minority at every opportunity and almost ignores the Turks of Western Thrace is one of the important problems between the two countries. Especially after the Greek authorities objected to Turkey's characterization of the Western Thrace Turks as a Muslim minority, the Lausanne Agreement's being put forward in the statements made by Greece and their basing the said discourse on the Lausanne Agreement show that the solution to the problems with Greece and the attitude of Greece. No matter how well-intentioned we are when it comes to the support of the EU, which they have backed, it seems that it is not possible to solve the problems with Greece on the table. In the meantime, the fact that the Greek authorities do not even need diplomatic courtesy most of the time and that they openly accuse our country during their visit to our country is an indication of impudence. Although, finally, our Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu gave the necessary answer to the rudeness displayed by Greek Foreign Minister Dendias, we should act knowing that what was said while coming to the table and what was said later did not match at all, that is, as long as the hypocritical attitude of the Greek continues, there will be no result. We have to determine accordingly. In particular, it should not be forgotten that the sides of the Crusader alliance called the EU will not change, no matter how right Turkey is.
