I find this whole thing ridiculous. Check this out:
Turkey newspaper writes in its front page: “Missile buildup in the
Aegean. Will Exocet be used against Turkey?”, while Hurriyet notes that Greece is planning an additional Belharra frigate. Similarly, Haberturk highlights France’s purchase of anti-ship missiles, presenting the developments as part of a hostile strategy against Ankara.
In a
CNN Turk broadcast, analysts expressed the view that “Greece is threatening us with weapons,” but stressed that Turkey now has its own missiles with a range of 1,000 kilometers that “will reach 5,000.” In the same broadcast, statements by Greek Chief of the General Staff Dimitris Houpis, who referred to Turkey as a threat and said that Greece can react anywhere within five minutes, were described as “scandalous.”
Turkish commentators echoed the claim of French influence in the Eastern Mediterranean through Greece, while analyst Joskun Basbug argued that “Israel seeks to use Greece and Greek Cypriots against Turkey”. He even referred to alleged attempts to include Egypt in this axis, adding:
“They go and arm the entire Aegean from Alexandroupoli to Crete, even Kastelorizo – which is actually ours!”
According to Turkish media, Greece and Israel recently planned to lay a cable east of
Kasos and Karpathos, with Ankara claiming that the area falls within the Turkish continental shelf and describing how Athens “postponed the project after a reaction from the Turkish defence ministry.”
Reactions, conspiracy theories and scaremongering in Turkey over the acquisition of Exocet missiles and possible reinforcement of the Greek fleet with an additional Belharra frigate

This is the quote about Kastelorizo that I kept asking hyperman if he agrees with,but he has been avoiding to give a clear reply. Of course an analyst's claims have no significance,but sometimes the AKP government adopts suchs claims and positions.
, making fun off Kaan. What funny is that UK is the country who do not want Ksa and not Japan, so we learned againg that high sensitive technology is not to buy but working hard.
