The creation of a military alliance between Greece, Cyprus and Israel signals a clear threat for Turkey and other countries in the region, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Sunday, responding to a question from Kathimerini.
“It is an alliance that constitutes a source of concern not only for Turkey but also for other Muslim countries in the region, who mention it to us,” Fidan said, adding, “Turkey has the ability to protect itself.”
He added that “no one reassured us about anything else, no one told us it is not against you.”
Fidan went on to say that while Greece is a NATO member, no other European country has taken similar steps with Israel, noting “Greece may say one thing but may also be hiding others.”
