“The illegality of the Turkish marine hydrographic service that issued the navigational notification. the notification was issued by an unauthorized station and related to illegal activity in an area covering the Greek continental shelf,” Russia Today quoted the official spokesperson for the Greek government, Stelios Petsas as saying.

The Turkish regime continues its provocative steps in the eastern Mediterranean, where it revealed through a map it published its ambitions to explore for gas in areas off the coast of Greek islands.

The Greek government sends messages to all parties saying that the Turkish regime is violating the law of the sea, which undermines peace, security and stability in the region.
