Turkey will on Wednesday start to obtain seismic data from its Oruc Reis research vessel in the Eastern Mediterranean, the country’s Energy Minister Fatih Donmez has said, according to state-run Anadolu news agency.
No more details were immediately available.
The international community has criticized Turkey for unilateral steps in the region that are undercutting efforts to de-escalate tensions with Greece and Cyprus over sea boundaries and drilling rights.
