Turkey escalates its aggressive rhetoric against Greece
This week has seen tensions escalate between Turkey and Greece as leading politicians and officials in Ankara have made provocative statements and issued warnings directed at Greece. Athens has issued a stern response, while Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias called on Turkey to prove its commitment to international law through actions, starting with withdrawing its threat of war against Greece. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini English Edition, joins The Greek Current to talk about his two latest opinion pieces in Kathimerini that look into the escalating rhetoric coming out of Ankara this week, Greece’s response, and the road ahead for Greek-Turkish relations in 2022.
