The French military conducted training exercises with Greek forces in the region on Thursday, according to defence sources.
Speaking at a televised news conference with his Swiss counterpart in Bern, Cavusoglu said Switzerland had offered to mediate in the eastern Mediterranean dispute and Turkey had agreed in principle, adding Greece would get a response if it provokes the Turkish Oruc Reis survey vessel in the region. The Greek-Turkish dispute was one of the subjects discussed in a call on Friday between Macron and U.S. President Donald Trump, the White House said, and the two leaders “expressed concern over increased tension between NATO Allies Greece and Turkey”.
Switzerland said it was willing to support a dialogue to defuse the current tensions, as long as this was desired by all parties involved. Reporting by Tuvan Gumrukcu; Additional reporting by Steve Holland in Bedminster, New Jersey; Editing by Daren Butler, Giles Elgood and Daniel Wallis

Turkey needs to shut up and think twice before getting their ass handed to them. Glad the US told Turkey no F-35 fighters for them. Greece will get 24 of the planes.
