The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated regarding the Turkey-Libya agreement, that Ankara would not take a step back from its claims. The maritime border agreement, he said, will be approved by the Turkish parliament. His intervention came at the inauguration of the TANAP pipeline, near the border with Greece, prompting the immediate reaction of the Deputy Minister of the Environment, Dimitris Economou, who withdrew along with the Greek delegation in protest.

The Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) and Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) were interconnected on the Evros River, on the Greek-Turkish border, as the TANAP construction consortium announced yesterday.

Ο αγωγός φυσικού αερίου TANAP (Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline) και ο Διαδριατικός Αγωγός (TAP) διασυνδέθηκαν στον ποταμό Έβρο, στα ελληνοτουρκικά σύνορα, όπως ανακοίνωσε χθες, Τετάρτη, η κατασκευάστρια εταιρεία του TANAP.
