With the title «New challenge from Greece in the Aegean» the opposition newspaper Sojou, which is close to the opposition, speaks of an «escalation of tension» on the part of Greece because Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited «three Turkish islands», which are «under Greek occupation».
«A new move by Greece, which has occupied, since 2004, 19 islands and one Turkish islet in the Aegean, has increased the tension. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the Greek-occupied islands of Thymena, Fourni and Ikaria, 10-12 miles from the area of Kusadasi in Aydinio. The Greek Prime Minister was accompanied by his ministers during the visit.
Mitsotakis, who flew to the islands in a military helicopter, was received by a military troop. Mitsotakis visited military units on the three islands and received a briefing. Mitsotakis, who met with medical personnel and civilians who were vaccinated, also gave a political performance. «We are here to oversee the vaccination process. We have not ceased to be concerned about the small islands of the Aegean, especially the outlying islands and their communities, we will make life easier for residents by reducing tax rates on the islands’.».
