In a highly controversial statement, former Greek Foreign Minister Theodoros Pangalos said that the only “good Turk is a dead one”! In an interview to Skai radio on Tuesday, Mr Pangalos commented on the relations between Greece and Turkey underlining that Turkey was a “relentless enemy” adding that the Turkish matter would not be overcome no matter how much good will Greece displayed in negotiations.

“The only good Turk is a dead Turk. I believe it because I have not found a good Turk. They lack elementary concepts. The Turk does not have a sense of justice.”



Racism is guilty of humanity.

That’s not racism.

Yup. Their armed forces have a fierce reputation.

This isn't our fight, as both are our allies.

I think the US needs to give a stern warning to turkey in regards to the way they are behaving. I know they are doing it because they understand Greece don't want a war and can get away with it but these volatile actions and stunts that the Turks are pulling might go one step too far sooner or later.

I recall once last year turkey violated greek airspace 140 times in a single day, this is a weekly occurrence, now they are doing it to Greek waters, this is disgusting behaviour. It's Time for the international community to stand up to this thuggish government.

True. Turkey is returning to its conquering Ottoman roots. Their military was keeping Erdogan in check until this last purge. Its regrettful that the coup did not succeed.
