Greek, Turkish vessels collide again amid Cyprus gas row
ATHENS: A Greek and a Turkish patrol boat again collided near a disputed islet group in the Aegean, the Greek navy said Tuesday, as a Turkey-EU row unfolded over Cyprus.
The Greek navy said nobody was hurt in the collision late on Monday, the second such incident in a month, which it blamed on "dangerous manoeuvres" by the Turkish boat. However, the Greek vessel suffered damage. The incident occurred near the uninhabited Imia islets, just off the Turkish coast and a historic flashpoint in a long-running demarcation dispute. A similar incident had occurred last month. At that time, the Greek navy said the two vessels´ sides "came together...probably owing to an error on the part of the Turkish vessel."It came as EU President Donald Tusk on Tuesday urged Turkey to "avoid threats or actions against any EU member" after Turkish warships blocked an Italian drilling vessel seeking to begin exploration for gas off Cyprus. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan then warned foreign energy companies not to "overstep the mark" in the Mediterranean. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Greek, Turkish vessels collide again amid Cyprus gas row || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
