The long-running dispute between Turkey and Greece, both NATO members, flared up after the two countries agreed rival accords on their maritime boundaries with Libya and Egypt, and Turkey sent a survey vessel into contested waters this month.
Both sides have held military exercises in the east Mediterranean, highlighting the potential for the dispute over the extent of their continental shelves to escalate into confrontation. Two weeks ago Greek and Turkish frigates shadowing Turkey’s Oruc Reis oil and gas survey vessel collided, and Turkey’s Defence Ministry said Turkish F-16 jets on Thursday prevented six Greek F-16s entering an area where Turkey was operating.
On Friday night Turkey issued a Navtex notice - an advisory message to mariners - saying it would be holding a “gunnery exercise” from Saturday until Sept. 11 off northwest Cyprus. The European Union’s top diplomat said on Friday the bloc was preparing sanctions against Turkey that could be discussed at a summit in late September in response to Ankara’s standoff with EU member Greece.

Under Erdogan, Turkey reached her apogee post Ottoman era, but if he does not leave now or sooner, he shall plunge Turkey into a mess more serious than the post WW2 shame and disgrace.
FM Çavuşoğlu: (EU's Eastern Mediterranean attitude) - 'Many foreign ministers and representatives we met say 'we know that you are legally right, but we have solidarity too'' - 'What he told us at the meeting is different from what he said to the public.' HYPOCRISY!
I really don't care , do you ? Reuters reports more stories of importance to Russia and Putin IMO.
Some dinghies will sail left, then right. Little dog, big bark.
An inglorious past to be relived.
Seeing the bad situation in Turkey, the tail is running away like a fox. It doesn't rain as much as it thunders.😏😂
Wake up Turkey! A. “United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea”. & B. “Treaty of Lausanne”.
So turkey is thinking to go war with Greece in middle of pendamic! China is throwing missiles at USA warships. September 2020 will be very happening lol
Those who dare to do so will find Turkish missiles and crazy Turkish soldiers. We don't want war, but if you force it, We will be a nightmare for Greece and you will lose what you have too. Be smart.
Turkey illegally invaded Cyprus, occupied it, then expects to be treated as equal just because time has past.
Its high time , the entire Europe collectively need to teach a proper lesson to most Communal Erdogan, otherwise, it will be too late.
Very worrying
Of course Turkey Will defense its rights ! No one in their right mind would take this ridiculous map seriously.A picture tells a thousand words. As We’ve always said: Expecting Turkey to bear the burdens of the region while denying its rights in sharing of resources is WRONG.
No one would attempt to interfere with the right of Turkey to the sea borders.
Why military exercise? Go ahead and proclaim the leadership of caliphate! Probably claim prophethood Mr Erdogan and restart what’s been missing since Suleyman departed
This map gives a better visual of what Greece/EU are trying to impose on Turkey. Non Türk will accept this map. There are 2 solutions: diplomatic or military. Türkiye prefers the 1st but, is ready for the 2nd if necessary.
Greece has armed 16 of 23 islands not to be armed under Lausanne agreement against Turkey. Greece has increased its territorial waters, set at 3 miles under Lausanne agreement, to 6 miles, and these days is threatening to increase it to 12 miles.
I thought you set red lines Mr EmmanuelMacron 🤦🏾
p_von_eulenburg Excellent news 👏👏👏
Turkey is about to get their cheeks clapped.
Look at this map. Greece is accusing Turkey of being greedy & aggressive.
They Will Recognize Our Sovereignty
Compare: Actual division of EEZ zones between Spain and Morocco, including Spanish enclaves close to Moroccan border without own EEZ (left); and fictional “Greek” version (right). whereisthejustice
Illegal territorial waters claimed by Greece do not even leave swimming space for Turks and tourists in Turkey. If Greece goes too far, it will be wiped off map forever.
turks are trying to develop but europeans make it difficult
I think we should remind turk bastards who we are
Look at this map very well. This is what Greece claims. Well, is there anyone who can claim this is a fair share? Would you just say yes if they were trying to steal the eez of your country like this
This map gives a better visual of what Greece/EU are trying to impose on Turkey. No Turk will accept this map. There are 2 solutions: diplomatic or military. Ankara prefers the 1st but, is ready for the 2nd if necessary. The gov't will have strong domestic support in case of war.
I’d like to see the full report. For instance, who started military activities first. Give u some tips; 🇬🇷with its little boy🇨🇾and 🇫🇷who wants to sell its shitty aircrafts to them and puppet tribal gulf state! We want a fair peace not at any cost!
Egypt and Cyprus have no problem finding natural resources in the mediterranean but if searching Turkey then problem of Greece ... as annoying
живэбеларусь
Russia wants to break NATO by using France and france wants to occupy Greece. They want to intimidate Turkey with harrassment by interfering in its legitimate access and naval operations. Remember Turkey has longest Mediterranean coast line.
İt’s Turkey’s Right to be there. İt belongs to Turkey. Greece does not want diologue and diplomacy. Greece contunies to it’s illegal actions like arming the islands which close to Turkey only 2 km. So Turkey is more than right to hold military exercise!
Turkey are making steps suits as to european laws, Greece has 165 km border in aegean sea while Turkey has border of aegean exactly 986 km. Despite these calculation, do you think is it normal when greece say want to 18 times bigger border than he now today.
Just make a note ; Turkey will defense it’s rights in EastMediterranean!
But Turkey when want to protect our border is it wrong ?
Absolutely. Turkey has every right to access and protect every inch of its territory. Colonial robbers are crying foul after they see Turkey standing up to them.
🍿

The Sultanate, like its Mongolian ancestors, thirsts for war. Otherwise it has nothing more to offer, like its ancestors.
