Hurriyet about Mitsotakis: The Harvard alumnus who adored Congress

The former director of the newspaper and now a leading Turkish analyst, Sedat Ergin, made highly praiseworthy comments about Kyriakos Mitsotakis's speech at the Congress last week in an article in Hurriyet.

According to SKAI's correspondent in Turkey, Manolis Kostidis, Ergin explains in his article how well-written the Greek prime minister's speech was, noting that Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi showed their admiration for the "Harvard Harvard graduate" and the Greek Prime Minister with Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Entering the philosophy of Kyriakos Mitsotakis's speech, the columnist even comments that he gave examples from Greek history and excited the American Senate.

Although he avoids direct criticism of the Erdogan government in his article, the Turkish analyst leaves tips for Ankara's choices, contrasting them with those of Athens. "There is a fundamental truth that this visit shows to everyone. "Turkey's relations with the United States are constantly losing ground, among other issues, such as the purchase of S-400s from Russia, and in response the United States has removed Ankara from the F-35 program," the Hurriyet columnist said.

He adds: "On the other hand, when we look at the Greek front, relations with the United States are going through one of the closest periods in their history, inversely proportional to Turkey. "The farther Turkey is from the United States, the closer Greece is to this country." He makes special reference to the agreement between Greece and the USA for the military base in Alexandroupolis.

"As seen in the latest agreement on the bases, Athens is giving a blank check to the US on its military demands. It has three new bases in addition to the naval and air base on the island of Crete. "The fact that Alexandroupolis has become the most important US logistics base for the Balkans and Central Europe is another development that needs to be emphasized."

Finally, commenting on Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement earlier this week that "there is no Mitsotakis for me anymore" and that he will no longer meet with him, he stressed that "behind this is his reaction to Mitsotakis' strong move against of Turkey, during his tour in Washington ".
