Turkey: new exercises in the eastern Mediterranean – Ultima Ora

08/29/2020 Italy

[ad_1]

(ANSA) – ISTANBUL, AUGUST 29 – Turkey today launched new exercises in the eastern Mediterranean that should last two weeks, an initiative that does not suggest a normalization of relations between Ankara and Athens in the short term.

A dispute over maritime borders and gas drilling rights has reignited the long-standing rivalry between Greece and Turkey, both of which have organized naval exercises.

Turkey has announced that it will carry out “shooting exercises” from today until September 11 off its southern coast, north of the island of Cyprus. Ankara had already announced last Thursday military exercises for next Tuesday and Wednesday in an area further east.

Tensions between the two countries have escalated considerably since August 10, with the deployment of the Turkish research vessel Oruc Reis in Greek waters. Yesterday, the Turkish Defense Ministry reported that the previous day fighter jets had intercepted six Greek planes heading towards the ship, forcing them to turn around. (HANDLE).
