» "Turkey is a country of consultation. But if they want to resolve the issues in the battlefield, we'll do it on the battlefield. But if the other side uses only the hard power and not the subtle power of diplomacy, then Turkey knows well how to use its armed forces - its hard power"

The AKP is Erdogan's party and Turkey's largest party, the president of the party as well as several newspapers and other Turkish government officials often say the things that Erdogan cant, such as the aggressive rhetoric that Erdogan must avoid due to the attempts for "dialogue" of which one of the conditions is for Turkey to refrain making threats and other provocations, turning the situation into almost blackmail

Erdogan once again mentions Ottoman Sultans, say that they must claim their legacy, then he compared those who oppose Turkey as colonialists, and say they represent the same mentality that ended the "Ottoman peace in the Mediterranean"

For those who might be interested in the relations between Turkey and Greece, a good recommendation is to watch the documentary "Lethal Nationalism: The Genocide of the Greeks 1913-1923" (2020)

It tells in detail what happened during what is known as "The Greek Genocide" when the Turks started an ethnic cleansing campaign against Greeks all over Turkey, destroying thousands of years of history.
Villages, Churches, Schools and everything else that had belonged to the Greeks for thousands of years was either stolen or destroyed and 700 000+ Indigenous Greeks were killed
