Turkish analyst: 3/4 of Crete belongs to Turkey

The propaganda about Greek islands that supposedly belong to Turkey continues in the neighbor, with the country’s media supporting and presenting similar positions.

As reported by SKAI, after Devlet Bakhtseli presented a map with half of the Aegean and Crete belonging to Turkey, the Turkish network TR Haber claimed that 3/4 of Crete belongs to Turkey and that only the prefecture of Chania is Greek.

The network’s website hosts statements by the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Defense, retired officer and geopolitical-military analyst Yumit Yalim, who first formulated the story about the “illegal” occupation of 3/4 of Crete by Greece.

He says that Crete, one of the islands whose legal status remained in limbo for a century after the war, never belonged to Greece on paper. “There is no official agreement that Athens owns this whole island,” he says.
