The European Union leaders expressed their full support to Greece and Cyprus over the dispute with Turkey in relation to the illegal drillings by Turkey off the coast of Cyprus and its maritime memorandum with Libya delimiting water jurisdiction in the Mediterranean.

Τhe European Union decided on Monday to symbolically punish Turkey over illegal drilling for oil and gas off Cyprus and threatened harsher sanctions in the future unless Ankara changes tack.

Despite the very strict warnings made by Washington, Brussels, Paris, London, Rome, and partly Moscow, the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan is intensifying its provocative stance in the Eastern Mediterranean, as Turkish warships are escorting the drilling vessel “Fatih”, militarising the crisis.
