Erdogan: We have a drone base in Cyprus and we are ready in case of an attack

A Turkish drone base is operating in the occupied territories, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said, adding that "in the event of any attack in the region, we must be strong." He also said that on July 20 from the occupied will give the required messages to the whole world.

Speaking to young people in Turkey on the occasion of Youth Eid, the Turkish President said that "Turkey is not limited to 780 thousand square kilometers, for us Turkey is everywhere", saying that this is the reason why they are taking steps in Palestine, Cyprus, in the eastern Mediterranean and in Iraq.

Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey currently has 5 drilling rigs and research vessels and does not need anyone. "We have done this at such a good time that we have managed to win these ships for our country at the same time. "Now we hope to bring good news, do not be surprised if you soon hear - first of all Allah - the news about oil and gas," he said. After all, from the moment they receive this news, he said, "the world will change its view of Turkey. In this sense, people are jealous of us right now and they are right to be jealous of us. Let them be jealous. Southern Cyprus and northern Cyprus? Why are they bothered? Because our ships are there. "Our friends made a statement the other day."

Continuing, he said that he will be in Cyprus on July 20 and from Cyprus “I will give the required messages to the whole world and that is why I will be in northern Cyprus. "Because the messages we will give from northern Cyprus are of interest not only to the island but to the entire international community, and if you do not show this determination and do not take this stance, they will not take you seriously," said the Turkish President.

He added that "now there are two airports in Cyprus, one is Ercan (the illegal airport in occupied Tympou) which is known to all my citizens in Turkey, and one that was there before but now with a new name we transfer there more our unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) ”.

Is this because we move them so much, what is the reason, he said. "Because in the event of any attack in the area we must be strong. And to be strong you must exist in every way in the air, and on land, and at sea. So, are we? Yes we are. It is enough to put it all aside. After all, when our planes take off from Anamur, Mersin, when they take off from Adana, which are in a moment? There. The concept of time does not exist for us, after all. What is the whole issue? To step firmly on the ground, to be confident. "As Turkey, we exist," he concluded.
