Greece playing with fire, being spurred on by France, says leader of Turkey's Nationalist Movement Party

It is unthinkable for Turkey to give up its “historical interests” in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas, the head of a Turkish political party said on Saturday.

Greece is playing with fire and is being spurred on by France, Devlet Bahceli, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), said in a written statement.

He said all the countries sitting at the gambling table are familiar with each other and are trying to bet on the winner.
