He added that “Turkey does not want to pose a threat to Greece. If they see Turkey as a threat, I can not say anything. But we have no plans to threaten anyone. “
He also praised the Greek Prime Minister saying “Young, dynamic Tsipras desires to take a new step, in my last visit I saw the [Greek] president [Pavlopoulos] in the same spirit.”
On the issue of the two Greek soldiers in custody, Erdogan set another condition: If Athens extradites the 8 Turkish soldiers, Ankara could put the issue of Greek soldiers on the table.

At the same time, he gave a hint about a possible punishment the Greek soldiers would face for having violated the Turkish borders.

In a more milder tune than his
, Erdogan said “At this moment, the first stop of those FETO fleeing to Europe is Greece. The fugitives go to Greece first and then they spread to different parts of Europe. You are forcing us into it. This report, which has been announced at the moment, is certainly a complete reminder to completely disrupt the relationship. It is totally far from being constructive.”
Is Erdogan really striving for peace with Greece? Hardly.
We may experience a de-escalation in the Aegean Sea at least until the snap elections in Turkey on June 24. However, Erdogan will not step back from challenging the Greek sovereignty.

, Erdogan said:
- “We need peace now. Besides, our peace with you is like no other.”
On the tensions in the Aegean and claiming that Turkish commandos took down the flag from a Greek island, Erdogan said:

- “We don’t want the tension thermometer to rise in the Aegean. We are not trying to do that. We see Greece as our neighbor. Even if there are some problems, we want to overcome them. To sit on the table and leave them behind. It is the sea and the air (…). Airplanes and ships to pass freely (…). Why put a shade and stain? We need peace in the world. Besides, our peace with Greece does not look like any other.”
He added that “Turkey does not want to pose a threat to Greece. If they see Turkey as a threat, I can not say anything. But we have no plans to threaten anyone. “
He also praised the Greek Prime Minister saying “Young, dynamic Tsipras desires to take a new step, in my last visit I saw the [Greek] president [Pavlopoulos] in the same spirit.”

- “They (Greece) ask us to give back the Greek soldiers and we told them ‘if you make such a demand, you should first give us FETO soldiers involved in a coup against our state. We are going to put [the issue] on the table now.“
At the same time, he gave a hint about a possible punishment the Greek soldiers would face for having violated the Turkish borders.

- “In the past [note: 3 decades ago], our soldiers who violated the borders was convicted to six months.“
