In the latest of Turkish official’s incendiary statements against Greece, president Erdogan’s senior adviser Yigit Bulut dubbed Greece a fly compared to Turkey.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a clear threat to Greece a few hours after the incident between Turkish patrol boats and the Greek coastguard near the Imia islets.

"The Greek government has repeatedly said that it will resolutely defend the sovereign rights of the country," government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos said on Tuesday, commenting on the collision between a Turkish patrol boat and Greek coast guard vessel near the Imia islets.
