Greece, as a whole, has turned into a U.S. military base, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

He accused Greece of sentencing migrants to death by punching their boats, Sabah reports.

"We have all the proof showing their actions," he said.

“It is Greece that is condemning them to death by puncturing the boats of migrants," the president underlined.

"We have all the proof."

"You can fool the world by accusing Turkey," Erdoğan also said. "But you can't fool us."

Earlier, Greece accused Turkey of acting as a pirate, claiming that its coast guard accompanied and tried to push a boat of migrants into Greek waters, who were trying to illegally reach Greece.
