Erhürman: Dendias' statements are 'provocative and incompatible'

The head of the pseudo-state, Tufan Erhürman, described the statements of the Greek Minister of Defense, Nikos Dendias, as "incompatible with the sense of responsibility and seriousness that the times demand."

In a statement, Mr. Erhürman claimed that Mr. Dendias' references to the Cyprus issue, Turkish Cypriots and Turkey "are meaningless", especially at a time when efforts are being made to de-escalate tensions and return to dialogue through diplomacy and international law.

Erhürman claimed that the stance of the Greek Minister of National Defense is contrary to the approach of those who defend peace in the wider region.
