“I will include Thessaloniki in Turkey” – Krauges Bakhtseli
Erdogan’s government partner, speaking to his parliamentary group, said that “Our inspiration is the slogan that says ‘I will include islands, Western Thrace and Thessaloniki’ in Turkey”.
“One of our sources of inspiration is the chant ‘God willing, I will take back Mosul and Kirkuk and the islands if I am worthy and I will include Western Thrace, including Thessaloniki, in the borders of Turkey.’ And as the beloved Atatürk said again, “the Turk is the lightning, the hurricane, the sun that illuminates the world”” added Bakhceli.
Continuing, Bakhtseli also said that “there will be no Ecumenical Patriarch, nor a city named “Constantinople”. There will be no second Vatican, the conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque has made the enemies mad.”
What did he say about the Patriarch?
“Another unacceptable issue is the invitation of the Roman Patriarch Phanarios to the summit, calling him the “Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople” and his signature on the final declaration.
The Peace Summit in Ukraine deliberately ignored the law of sovereignty of the Turkish Republic and the relevant provisions of the Treaty of Lausanne,” concluded the government partner of the Turkish president.
