Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu stated that Israel\u2019s idea of leasing Greek islands in the Aegean and settling its citizens there as \u201cthe product of a flawed mindset\u201d, adding that \u201cIn my personal view, this is a repetition of the occupation project of Palestine. The mentality of the early 1900s is resurfacing. They have ambitions to take control of Cyprus and islands in the Aegean\u201d<\/p>\n
In a remarks to Anadolu Agency, Minister Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu emphasized that the recent discussions in Israel about leasing Greek-owned islands in the Aegean Sea and settling a Jewish population there are aimed to encircling to encircle both T\u00fcrkiye and the TRNC.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu also drew attention to relations between Israel and the Greek Cypriot administration of Southern Cyprus, noting that Israel appears to be seeking expansion from Southern Cyprus toward the Aegean islands.<\/p>\n
Reiterating his criticism, Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu described the idea as \u201cthe product of a flawed mindset,\u201d and stated that, in his view, such as a move should be regarded as a \u201ccasus belli.\u201d<\/p>\n
