urkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday warned Greece to demilitarize islands in the Aegean Sea, saying he was “not joking” and posting tweets in Greek and English, in a marked harshening of rhetoric against Turkey’s neighbor and historic regional rival.
Turkey says Greece has been building a military presence in violation of treaties that guarantee the unarmed status of the Aegean islands. It argues the islands were ceded to Greece on the condition they remained demilitarized.
Athens counters that the islands, which have been garrisoned for decades and lie within close striking distance of a large Turkish landing fleet, can't be left undefended.
“We invite Greece to stop arming the islands that have non-military status and to act in accordance with international agreements,“ Erdogan said on the final day of military exercises taking place near Izmir, on Turkey’s Aegean coast. “I’m not joking, I’m speaking seriously. This nation is determined.”

Turkish demands on Greece to disarm are why Greece should prepare for war.
“I’m surprised SFGate does not know Turkey is no more, but it is to be called Türkiye now.”
Yep. Erdogan put the “I” in Turkey, in more ways than one.
Once Russia is weakened, there will be nothing to stop Turkey from a new Ottoman Empire. And all those Muzzies in Europe now will be glad to help Turkey achieve it.
Turkey will fry in Greece.
Greece kicked Fascist and Nazi butt during WWII.
