Turkish ship approaches Greece, Erdogan: We are heading towards our goals.

“Whoever by word, deed and attitude tries to divide our nation, separate our country and tear down our country, knows that he is the greatest enemy of all of us“, he said, adding that he has destroyed everyone's games in the region and is now moving in line with Ankara's intentions and not in the direction other powers want.

“One by one, we cancel these scenarios and their games. We destroyed them in Iraq, Syria, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea. Now this country is moving in line with its goals and not in the direction that others push it” he said.

Reference to the Azerbaijan-Armen conflict, he said Turkey would be present where there is oppression, distortion and denial of rights.

“What do they tell us?” What business do you have there? We, where there's pressure, are there. Where is the occupation, shall we not save our brothers from this occupation? Or will we not ensure the safety of our borders? Why do some people get angry? We're there and we'll be there.

We are the ones that have suffered, we are the ones that have shed blood, we are the ones that have lost children, but the victors are the others. How can we tolerate something so distorted?

While today the Turkish ship “Oruc Reis” sailed only 18 nautical miles southeast of Kasteloriso, never closer than that since tensions started with Greece.
