Oruc Reis: 9 nautical miles reached from Kastellorizo
The answer to the Turkish propaganda: the “floating wall” of the Greek ships around Kastellorizo [εικόνες]
Ignoring the warnings from the EU, but also from Athens, the Turkish ship came quite close to the area, since on its last crossing it did not come within 12 nautical miles. Yesterday it was nine o’clock, however, the Armed Forces sent their “message” with a wall of Navy ships around Kastelorizo.
The floating wall of the PN is located in the area that forms a “shield” around the island, to prevent the Oruc Reis from approaching, surpassing the “red lines” marked by Athens.

However, the ship continued its course, descending again to the southeast, while shortly before 6 in the morning it made another turn, heading north, towards the island of Kastelorizo again.

However, Ankara does not stop its challenges there. Yesterday NAVTEX issued requesting the demilitarization of the Greek islands and specifically of Lemnos, Ai Strati and Samothrace. In this way, it is estimated that Turkey is trying to react to the Greek exercises in the Aegean, citing the Treaty of Lausanne.

Earlier, Greek Foreign Minister and Minister Nikos Dendias, seeing Ankara’s provocative behavior continue, continued his diplomatic efforts. The minister, in a letter to Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi, referred to Turkey, saying that it was violating, by adopting unforeseen tariff, legislative and equivalent measures, the EU-Turkey customs union, calling on the European Commission to immediately consider further measures. .
He stressed that as a message of disapproval of Turkey’s ongoing criminal behavior against the European Union, the possibility of a full suspension of the EU-Turkey customs union should be considered, and the Commission stated that it will look into the matter.
