Turkey warned Greece against actions that could spark tensions in the Mediterranean in a press release issued by the Foreign Ministry on Thursday.
The statement was released in response to one issued by the Greek Foreign Ministry on Wednesday saying that a Turkish ship would conduct unauthorized seismic research in the Mediterranean.
“The press statement issued yesterday by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs is completely baseless in terms of international law. Greece's insistence on unrealistic allegations will have no other result than damaging bilateral relations and regional stability,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
“We recommend Greece to abstain from acts that would cause an escalation in the Mediterranean region,” it added.
