Skopje. Greece rose to its feet as it reacted to comments made by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the Turkish territory included the Greek part of Thrace, parts of Macedonia, Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonian Utrinski Vesnik announced.

“Thrace is Thessaloniki but at the same time it is Komotini and Xanthi,” Mr Erdogan said during a speech delivered as part of the campaign for next year’s local elections.

“It is also Kardzhali [in Bulgaria] and the Vardar River. Going further back, it is Skopje, Pristina and Sarajevo.”

Greece considered this statement anything else, but an expression of friendly attitude of a neighboring country that Greece made attempts to overcome problems and establish partnership with.

“The Turkish PM tries to expand the Turkish conquests and claims concerning the Balkans,” Tanea.gr informed, while Imerisia.gr wrote: “Erdogan is incredible – Thessaloniki also belongs to Thrace”.

“In this way Erdogan continues with provocations in terms of breathing new life into the old but never forgotten plan to revive the “Turkish Republic of Thrace”, which includes portions of Greece, of southern Bulgaria and of the Central Balkans,” Tanea.gr also wrote.

  1. You have to use smoke and mirrors when the talent fails you, Erdogan!

  2. Erdagon is simply defending the borders of the Islamic state, like all good Muslims do.

    On the eve of invading Christian Byzantium (637AD) one of Mohamed’s greatest generals, General Khālid ibn al-Walīd, proclaimed that “We heard that Byzantine blood is the tastiest, and we have come to drink it.”

    On 12/8/09 Egyptian Cleric Hamdan Badr put that quote “in context” for us on Al-Shabab TV: “This didn’t constitute aggression because we were defending the borders of the Islamic state. We are commanded to enjoin people to worship Allah. That is the mission of every Muslim in this life.”
