Recep Erdogan
ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey’s president says he will not permit what he called the seizing of natural resources in the eastern Mediterranean.
Speaking at a naval ceremony Sunday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would never accept such attempts “excluding our country and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.”
Turkey and the Greek Cypriot government in Cyprus_who do not have diplomatic relations— are both planning hydrocarbon research in the Mediterranean Sea for natural gas reserves.
