Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that Greece got the “first response” from Turkey in the ongoing Mediterranean crisis, hinting at the recent incident between Turkish and Greek frigates.
“We said that if you attack Oruc Reis, the consequences would be great. And today, they received the first response”, Erdogan said, speaking in Ankara.
The Turkish-Greek tensions escalated this week after Turkey’s Oruc Reis research vessel began exploration drilling in Greek-claimed waters in the Mediterranean on Monday.
