Ankara: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned Greece to enter talks over disputed eastern Mediterranean territorial claims or face the consequences. They’re either going to understand the language of politics and diplomacy, or in the field with painful experiences, he said at a ceremony in Istanbul.
Ankara is currently facing off against Greece and Cyprus over oil and gas exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean. All sides have deployed naval and air forces to assert their competing claims in the region.
They are going to understand that Turkey has the political, economic and military power to tear up the immoral maps and documents imposed, Erdogan added, referring to areas marked by Greece and Cyprus as their economic maritime zones. (AP)
