Greek PM Alexis Tsipras congratulated incumbent Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the phone for his victory on Sunday’s Presidential elections on Monday.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan appears all but certain to secure victory in the Turkish Presidential elections, as he has won 54.3 percent of the vote with over 80 percent of the votes counted in Turkey’s presidential election on Sunday, broadcasters said.
The Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan unleashed a new attack against Greece, deriding the country for the state of its infrastructure. In a speech at the Ankara Chamber of commerce, Erdogan criticised the global credit rating agencies for downgrading the Turkish economy, contrasting the way they had upgraded Greece, a country he dubbed “bankrupt” and “finished”.
