Tensiunile cresc între două țări NATO. Erdogan cere Greciei să oprească înarmarea insulelor din Marea Egee

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Greece to halt military buildup on Aegean islands, warning of necessary actions if Athens persists. This statement highlights ongoing tensions between the NATO allies over the demilitarization status of these islands. Erdogan emphasized Turkey's desire for good neighborly relations but criticized Greece for not responding to Turkey's initiatives. He asserted that Turkey does not seek to acquire Greek territory but will not tolerate violations of its rights. The dispute over the military status of the islands has historical roots, with Turkey citing treaties to challenge Greece's military presence, which Greece defends as legitimate under international law. Erdogan's remarks reignite a long-standing conflict despite recent diplomatic dialogues.
