  • Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday urged Turkey to show "logic" in a naval showdown in the Eastern Mediterranean over energy exploration which he warned could lead to a military accident. Tensions were stoked Monday when Ankara dispatched the research ship Oruc Reis accompanied by Turkish naval vessels off the Greek island of Kastellorizo in the eastern Mediterranean. Greece also deployed warships to monitor the vessel, which is currently sailing west of Cyprus. "We hope logic will finally prevail in our neighbouring country, so that honest dialogue can begin," Mitsotakis said in a statement. "When so many military forces are massed in a limited area, the danger of an accident lurks," he warned. The Greek PM said Athens would not seek to escalate the situation, but added: "No provocation will remain unanswered." Athens has demanded the immediate withdrawal of the Oruc Reis from what it regards as its continental shelf, and has asked for an emergency meeting of EU foreign ministers on the issue. The incident is the latest spat over energy exploration in the gas-rich eastern Mediterranean, a frequent source of disputes between Turkey and neighbours including Greece, Cyprus and Israel. Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias will fly to Israel on Thursday for talks, his office said. A similar crisis last month was averted after Turkey pulled the Oruc Reis back to hold talks with Greece and rotating EU chair Germany. But the mood soured last week after Greece and Egypt signed an agreement to set up an exclusive economic zone in the region. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said his country would step up energy exploration in the eastern Mediterranean and would not "compromise" on its rights. jph/tgb
