I have always kept a low and objective speech concerning historical, political and international relations issues. But now I cannot hide or control my anger, as well as my justified problematism about these facts:
1. The Turkish press releases ironic articles about Greece not having accepted the Turkish aid for the recent forest fires.
Though, Greece accepted it when offered.
2. The Turkish press denounces Greece for turning an old mosque to a church in Rodos. A (Turkish) friend of mine, eminent member of the Turkish community of Rodos informs me that no such event took place, on the contrary the mosque in question and other Ottoman monuments are being restored with European Union funds.
3. The Turkish press publishes a foto of skulls and bones, placed 150 years ago in an old showcase at the ruined monastery of Nea Moni - Chios, with the comment that the mayor of Cesme asked the Mayor of Chios to remove the scipt "Victims of Turks".
Are all these a coincidence?
