Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has pressed strong accusations against Greek neighbours, saying that while Turkey is at war in Syria, Greek military is provoking on disputed islands between two states
It's not normal as we're engaged in Syria at all, Greece hunting for fish in turbulent waters at our borders. Stay calm! If they provoke another time, we take appropriate measures”, Yildirim said using a popular Turkish metaphor such as that “fish hunt in turbulent waters”.
In recent days, Greek and Turkish warships have crashed in the Kardak islands as Turkey or Imia calls them Greeks.
There are two rocky islands very close to the Turkish coast, which are claimed by both states. In 1996, Greece and Turkey were on the brink of war for the islands in question.
