Turkey supports the protests in the United States and retaliates.

Axar.az reports that the claim was made by the host of an analytical program broadcast on the Greek Blue Sky television.

The presenter said that Ankara is using the riots to avenge the July 15, 2016 uprising and to prevent pressure on the S-400:

"Neo-Ottoman politics also aims to destabilize," he said. "Israel is already targeting farther away from its classic rivals in the region."

Turkish media reacted sharply to the Greek analyst's comment, calling it a nonsensical claim by a journalist who was hostile to Ankara.
