Hours after Yaycı's statements to our newspaper, the Athens administration justified our report by treating the Galatasaray Football Team like no other.
Greek City Times, one of the leading newspapers in Greece, claimed that the Blue Homeland Theory had failed and headlined "The owner of Turkey's unsuccessful Blue Homeland theory is angry with the Minister of Defense Panagiotopoulos".
Covering Assoc. Dr. Cihat Yaycı's response to Greek Defense Minister Panagiotopoulos, Greek City Times claimed that TURK DEGS President Yaycı accused Athens of slandering Ankara and that Yaycı was defending the end of the dialogue.
Yaycı underlined that Greece, realizing that it cannot resist Turkey's power, is trying to challenge Turkey.
Yaycı also drew attention to Panagiotopoulos' arrogant attitude and style and stated that it was impossible to develop a healthy dialogue and diplomacy with Greece under these conditions.
GREECE ADDED A NEW UGLINESS TO ITS BEHAVIORS
Describing the agreement Turkey signed with Libya as illegal, the newspaper touted Yaycı as the architect of the agreement. Hours after Yaycı's statement, the incident that took place in Athens confirmed Yaycı.
Going to Greece for the friendly match to be played, the Galatasaray Football Team returned from Athens in response to the Greek authorities' refusal to accept the new type of coronavirus (Covid-19) tests and their ugly behavior. After the incident, which caused a diplomatic scandal, reactions rained down on Greece.
WHAT DID YAYCI SAY?
Evaluating the statement of Greek Defense Minister Nikolaos Panagiotopulos towards Turkey, "It threatens the peace in the region" to our newspaper, Head of Turkish Maritime and Global Strategy Center Assoc. Dr. Cihat Yaycı made a statement saying, "The Greek minister also made a statement last year saying, 'We are ready for war with Turkey…' and revealed both the dimensions of the language of threat and why a healthy dialogue cannot be established with Greece. Passing over the Greek arrogance with common words will not satisfy the Turkish public anymore and will not prevent irreversible losses."
The “Greek arrogance” that Yaycı draws attention to has emerged in Athens yesterday.
