Greece, which arming 16 out of 23 islands with non-military status in violation of agreements in the Aegean sea, should act in accordance with international law, Turkey's defence minister said, SIA reports quoting AA.
Speaking in his visit to Turkey’s missile producer Roketsan on Wednesday, Hulusi Akar said: "We expect Greece to act according to international law, agreements and good neighbourly relations." In addition to the fight against terrorism, Turkey's activities are ongoing in the Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean, off Cyprus, and Libya, Akar said, adding that they are carried out in accordance with international law and the territorial integrity of the countries. Turkey is a guarantor country for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and is committed to fulfilling its responsibilities, he said.
As a guarantor nation for the TRNC, Turkey is currently carrying out hydrocarbon exploration activities in the Eastern Mediterranean with two drilling vessels. "It is our most sincere wish to resolve the issue within peaceful methods based on rights and international law," he said. Ankara has consistently contested the Greek Cypriot Administration's unilateral drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean, asserting that the TRNC also has rights to the resources in the area.
