Turkey's Defence Minister Yaşar Güler gave strong warnings. He warned Greece, Israel, and Cyprus. Turkey has a firm position. This is about military help and sea areas. Minister Güler spoke in Ankara. He talked about military actions. He worries about islands with weapons. Turkey wants a two-state plan for Cyprus.
Ankara sees more military groups. Turkey thinks this can hurt its safety. Minister Güler said it is not a big danger now. But Turkey will act if there are military moves in the Aegean Sea. Israel might put air defence on islands. These islands should not have military bases. Turkey is very worried about this.
Minister Güler said Turkey will protect Turkish Cypriots. They have equal status. This is needed for Cyprus. He supports a "two-state" plan. This is not what many countries want. They want one Cyprus.
The minister also spoke about Greece. He said Greek soldiers may not like defence plans. Some Greek leaders make problems. He said Greece tries to push Turkey out of Europe.
These words from Ankara are strong. They send a message to neighbors. Turkey will protect its safety. This is in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is also in the Aegean Sea. These areas have sea border issues. The two-state idea for Cyprus makes things harder. Disagreements will continue. The region is not very stable.
