Turkey’s ballistic missile test ‘scares’ Athens, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday, adding it “will not sit idly if Greece continues to arm the Aegean islands.”

Of course, the question remain whether he can afford to fuel the missile that was tested one time in October..
According to state-run news agency Anadolu, in his speech Erdogan lashed out also at the USA saying:
“Turkey is NATO ally but US still backs terrorist groups in northern Syria. We will pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps.”
