Oruc Reis has been sailing in the waters of the Dodecanese for the past few hours, constantly approaching Rhodes.
The Turks, at 09:00 on Saturday morning, were at a distance of 16 miles from the “island of knights”, with Turkish frigates and corvettes constantly close to it.
Each of their movements is monitored by the Greek Fleet, which has the order to follow the Turkish ships in all their actions.
