Turkey is stepping up its provocative behavior, which shows no willingness to calm things down in its relations with Greece. As if the presence of Oruc Reis in the maritime zone near Kastellorizo was not enough, since Wednesday night another ship from the neighboring country “walks” through the area.
The motif of the Kanuni, which is a floating drilling rig and made its appearance, set sail on Wednesday morning from the port of Tasucu in Mersin province.
After being found in a maritime area near Kastellorizo, he was found sailing between Kos and Astypalea on Thursday night.
The course of the Turkish investigation and its position can be seen in the maritime traffic detection system.
Kanuni is the third privately owned drilling rig in Turkey after Fatih and Yavuz and is destined for Istanbul.
The position of Oruc Reis
At the same time, shortly after 11pm, the Turkish research vessel Oruc Reis was 35 nautical miles from Kastellorizo and had previously reached the western end of the area bound for the illegal NAVTEX.
Now the Oruc Reis and accompanying Turkish warships are moving northeast and their course is monitored by Navy ships.
“Our Armed Forces are always ready to provide security to the Greek people”, was the message sent from Larissa by Konstantinos Floros. The Chief of Staff visited Larissa, where he was in the 1st Army, the Tactical Aviation Headquarters and the National Aviation Operations Center.
In a statement, he spoke about the role of the Armed Forces, highlighting that “they are doing what they exist for, that is, they are producing security for the Greek state.”
At the same time, he said that “there is determination, composure and diplomacy, everything that the government and the Minister of National Defense have referred to”, sending the message that “all Greeks must be calm and everything will be fine.”
