Ankara is again openly threatening to try and attempt to asymmetrically invade Greece with illegal immigrants, almost two months after their initial failure.
In an interview with DIM TV in Turkey, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu referred to the migrant issue and argued that after the end of the pandemic, there will be another wave of illegal immigration to Greece.
"There were refugees in the camps who went to the border with Greece. Due to the pandemic, this stopped. I am not saying this as a threat, but after the pandemic, the refugees will definitely want to leave and go there," he said.
Çavuşoğlu said the refugee issue was a common issue with the EU, adding that the customs union agreement should be updated, the visa requirement for Turkish citizens released, and called for more co-operation in the fight against terrorism.
"We have sent the following message that on the occasion of the pandemic, if you say that we do not need Turkey, then you should know that the pandemic will end, but the refugee issue will continue for many years. Then please don't knock on our door. Our goal is good cooperation and of course a cooperation that everyone will keep their promises."
The representative of the Turkish Foreign Ministry also took the baton.
"Turkey will not allow Greece to unilaterally redraw the borders with accomplished events, but bilateral technical talks," a Turkish official said on Saturday.
"After Greece announced to the Turkish Foreign Ministry on April 15 that it was building a fence on their common land borders, the ministry responded on May 11 by asking Athens to give the exact location of the fence and convene a bilateral commission to ensure the border is not violated," said Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy.
"The issue can be resolved if the meetings we have proposed between the technical delegations of the two countries take place. An accomplished event on our borders will in no case be tolerated," he added.
Turkey does not want the border violated BY Hellas? Excuse me while I pewk.Turkey consitently displays no respect for internationally agreed borders and daily offends Hellenic jurisdiction, on top of which are the almost daily threats against Hellas by Erdogan and his puppet ministers.
