Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has embraced a “North Korean-style attitude” toward Greece, a top official implied in response to Erdogan’s latest threat against his NATO neighbor.
“Threatening Greece with a missile attack by a NATO ally is both unacceptable and utterly condemnable,” Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said Monday. “North Korean-style attitudes cannot and must not be allowed to enter into the North Atlantic alliance.”
"Now we have started to build our missiles. Of course, this production frightens the Greeks,” Erdogan said Sunday, referring to a recently tested short-range ballistic missile. “When you say [Typhoon], the Greek is scared. [Greece] say it will hit Athens. Of course, it will hit it.
Those tensions have festered in parallel to multiple disputes between Washington and Ankara, including a controversy over Erdogan’s decision to purchase advanced Russian S-400 anti-air defense systems, a decision that prompted U.S. officials to expel Turkey from the F-35 stealth fighter program. Greek officials have applied to join the F-35 program, as well, while discouraging U.S. officials from providing Turkey with upgraded F-16 fighter jets.
