The start of exploratory contacts is up in the air, following the new provocative action that Turkey took last night when issuing new Navtexs for Oruts Reyes research in the Eastern Mediterranean, within the Greek continental shelf, south of Kastelorizo.
In fact, this move comes four days after the meeting of Foreign Ministers Nikos Dendias and Mevlüt Tsavousoglou and just a few hours before the Council of Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg, where Greece and Cyprus will raise the issue of illegal actions. of Turkey in Varos. after the opening of the waterfront. This maneuver by the Turks torpedoes the exploratory contacts that would begin in the coming days, since the Greek side through Nikos Dendias has made it clear that it is waiting for a “signal” from Ankara to start talks on the delimitation of maritime zones. .
In fact, the naval directive for the return of the Turkish ship to the Greek continental shelf is broadcast two twenty-four hours after the completion of the new German mediation, with the trip of the German Foreign Minister, Haiko Maas to Ankara.
According to Navtex, the surveys of the Turkish seismograph Oruç Reyes begin today at 09:00 in the morning and will last until one minute before midnight on October 22, in the southern area of Kastelorizo and specifically 7.5 km from Maximum.
So far, however, the Turkish investigation is close to the Antalya mooring and according to its signal log it has a speed of 6.5 knots.
