The incendiary statements continue from the Turkish side, with the country’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu announcing on Saturday night (08/29) that the research ship Oruc Reis will remain in the eastern Mediterranean for another 90 days.
We started drilling in the eastern Mediterranean as part of our rights. Spain and Germany wanted to mediate, we made some decisions to resolve the issue through diplomacy without infringing our rights. “We want the problems to be resolved through diplomacy,” Turkey’s Foreign Minister said in an interview with Turkish television station A Haber, adding that Navtex will continue, adding: “We are continuing our work and research. Oruc Reis will continue working in the area for another 90 days. ”
When asked about the extension of Greece’s territorial waters to 12 miles in the Ionian Sea, Tsavousoglou replied: “Greece works as it pleases where it has its rights. We have nothing to do with it. However, they cannot increase its borders within 12 miles. ” “This is a cause of war. We do not allow Greece to increase its territorial waters from 6 miles to 12 miles. I say that very clearly.”
Earlier, the Greek Foreign Ministry issued a tough statement against Turkey, in response to statements by the neighboring country’s Vice President Fuat Oktay, who threatened that Turkey would do whatever it had to do to protect its rights.
