“No one can stop us in the eastern Mediterranean”, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said while addressing Turkey’s national assembly on occasion of the 948th anniversary of the Battle of Manzikert.

Turkish president Erdogan has found himself in a tight spot, politically motivated by the fact that the opposition in Turkey is accusing him of a tragic failure in his policy in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Hellenic Navy General Staff refutes the news, but the Turks insist that they chased off a Greek warship, allegedly violating Turkish territorial waters.
