Published in the Greek Blogs March 5 & 6, 2010
I have been reading carefully your
reactions to Mr Erdogan’s use of thousands of young men as a human siege ram
against the Greeks at the Turkish Greek border in the area of Evros I felt the
invincible strong urge to congratulate you as a young, inspired and indeed
inspiring European political Leader!
In
recent days you have spoken of the blackmail carried out by the Turkish
President against Greece with ultimate target the EU and you have referred to
the repetition of the 'supposedly refugee tragedy’ that flooded Europe with
more than ONE million illegal migrants in 2015-2016, when you were Austrian
Foreign Minister and you orchestrated the border closure in all Balkan
countries' prohibiting the flow of migrants to Europe.
On Thursday March 5, 2020 reading the
statements you made to the Vienna daily ‘Kronen Zeitung’ I highlight the
following phrases which denude Mr Erdogan’s blatant, unprovoked attack on
Greece while simultaneously underlying the potential ’end’ of the European
Union.
“This is a Turkish campaign. It is an
attack by Turkey on the European Union and Greece. People are being abused in
order to put pressure on Europe”
“The migrants gathered at the Greek
border, according to Kurz, are also mostly comprised of migrants who have lived
in Turkey for years, rather than asylum seekers fleeing from the Idlib region
where Turkey has been conducting military operations.”
"If the protection of the European
Union's external borders does not work, then Europe without internal borders is
history"
"As the European Union, we mustn't be
susceptible to blackmail. If the European Union isn't able to defy President
Erdogan then we are not only showing weakness but it's also the beginning of
the end.”
Austrian Chancellor Mr Sebastian Kurz,
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
