US senator accuses Turkey of ‘thuggish behavior’ toward Greece and Cyprus
Republican U.S. Senator Rick Scott harshly criticized Turkey for "thuggish behavior" towards Greece and Cyprus during visits to both nations. The Florida senator alleged that Turkey was not behaving like a reliable NATO ally due to its airspace disputes with Greece, military occupation of northern Cyprus, and its stance on a planned undersea electricity link between Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.
Scott emphasized that Turkey's military presence and airspace violations were unacceptable and urged for a change in behavior. He expressed optimism about the potential benefits of the electricity project for Greece, Cyprus, and Israel, while emphasizing the United States' commitment to supporting these nations and ensuring Turkey does not create obstacles.
