chris anthopoulos a former greek ambassador to canada believes the change in sofia's status is down to the president attempting to take attention away from a troubled economy. well i think that he was doing it all maybe also for internal reasons because his popularity is is dropping now in that turkey because of the economic crisis and also my impression is that he is trying to put down at the. founder of modern turkey so this is an attack also against the demolished regime in turkey so basically it's an internal problem that has international ramifications i don't think that he cares anything about statements being done the only thing that he might care would be if concrete measures were taken like the e.u. taking sanctions against against turkey for violating international law and violating that there is a real integrity of 2 of its member states which is greece and cyprus we must not forget that the e.u. has taken sanctions against russia for reasons much less. and which which i personally don't don't agree with them and yet it refuses or the moment to take sanctions against turkey.
