The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made calming
statements about the tension taking place yesterday with Greece over
the Kardak reef.
Answering a question about the Kardak crisis in the 85th anniversary
reception of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM), Erdogan
said: "These kinds of things might occur. We do not care about them.
Ups and downs always occur." Erdogan conveyed his reaction to Poland,
which passed the so-called Armenian genocide law in parliament via
the Polish ambassador Grzegorz Michalski.
To the Polish Ambassador: You upset me
Erdogan reflected his first reaction to Michalski saying, 'you upset
me'. Reminding him of the support that Turkey gave to Warsaw in the
past, to which the ambassador said, 'I know', Erdogan said: " Poland
was one of the members that gave us the biggest support in the EU but
you were deceived. A very small group made the alleged genocide
accepted. You should not have done this to us." Upon this, Michalski
settled for telling: "We know your support to us against the Russian
occupation during the war. Our children learn how you supported us."
while he was telling about the sympathy of the Polish public.
