In the second year of the #GreekRevolution, British admiral Hamilton suggested to the de facto leader of the #Greeks, Theodore #Kolokotronis, that the time had come to negotiate with the #Ottomans, with Britain as the mediator. Kolokotronis responded: #theHELC #25March1821 🧵1/6

Israeli footballer #SagivJehezkel suspended and arrested in #Turkey after showing support for the Israeli #hostages. His crime according to authorities: "inciting public hatred and hostility". Turkey openly supports and nurtures #Hamas terror

Thin-skinned #RishiSunak is somehow happy to meet a leader that assassinates journalists and activists, bombards his neighbours, provides weapon components to #Russia, blocks #NATO’s enlargement, and finances and shelters #Hamas

The #UK government does not need to come to the rescue of an isolated #Turkey. Here are two prime examples of what Turkey does with #Western weapons: https://x.com/OsintExperts/status/1728202774838722686

#Turkey's accession to the #UNESCO World #Heritage Committee seems like a joke in bad taste. Here's a reminder of just a few of the blows that #HagiaSophia, Turkey's most important UNESCO listed site, has suffered since its conversion into a #mosque in 2020 🧵1/8 https://t.co/npegph0GJy

‘Türkiye's unilateral foreign policy contrasts with EU priorities, with only a 10% alignment rate with the EU's stance on foreign and security policy as of August 2023. Türkiye's support for Hamas following attacks on Israel starkly differs from the EU approach’ #WorstAllyEver

‘The Italian dictator… has, in his customary cold-blooded way, fallen upon the small but famous and immortal Greek nation… The Greek King, his Government and the Greek people have resolved to fight for life and honour, and lest the world should be too easily led in chains.’…
#Poland had fallen more than a year ago. #Denmark, #Norway, #Belgium, the #Netherlands and #France soon after. Then, in October 1940, the greedy eyes of another #Axis dictator turned towards #Greece. What could the Greeks do faced with an opponent many times their size? 1/10

An elected mayor for the Greek ethnic minority remains in prison and is denied basic rights for four months now. This is a severe test of Albania’s willingness to demonstrate alignment to European values and advance its EU membership application #FrediBeleri #Himare #EdiRama

As more voices appear in Western media claiming an overthrow of #Erdogan would signal a tamer, peace-loving, Western-aligned #Turkey 🇹🇷 abroad, let’s remember that: 1. #Kılıçdaroğlu's party is the one that invaded and occupied #Cyprus 🇨🇾
2. He has said nothing of substance about…

'Liberty will not descend to a people, a people must raise themselves to liberty'. And so the Greeks did, through terrible sacrifice, in the first modern War of Independence in Europe in 1821-1829. For the liberty of all nations #GreekIndependenceDay #25March #libertyordeath

How does #GreenpeaceEU justify such a politically driven and misguided intervention? Such blindness (or worse) is not helping the planet or peace but only serving the interests of #Putin and #Erdogan 1/5 https://x.com/GreenpeaceEU/status/1630919874422644737

John Bolton finally sharing some uncomfortable truths about #Turkey on Swedish TV: [Turkey’s dealings with #Sweden] is a form of extortion, it’s the way #Erdogan behaves towards his own people so it’s no surprise he behaves this way towards others… 1/4 https://t.co/bySAGcYCpB
