Hulusi Akar unleashed new threats shortly before Abdul Hamid Khan’s departure to the Mediterranean for drilling.
As reported by SKAI’s correspondent in Turkey, the Turkish Minister of Defence, in an ironic and undiplomatic way, targeted the Greek island of Kastellorizo again.
Speaking at the conference of Turkish ambassadors held in Ankara , he referred to the distance of Kastellorizo from Turkey, saying that it is only 1,950 metres and that the students of military schools can swim there.
