International
“The time has come to act, to consider imposing sanctions on Turkey,” Manfred Weber, the head of the European People’s Party (EPP) said at an extraordinary session of the European Parliament, where the conclusions of the recent EU summit were discussed today.
 
“Regarding the situation in the Mediterranean, we have all seen the military action taken Turkey.We have also seen the decisions on Hagia Sophia which is an example of religious chauvinism.Hagia Sophia is  a symbol, and monument of peace and reconciliation but the Turks have changed that now,” he said. 
 
Weber added the EU should send clear messages that it stands on the side of the Greeks and the Cypriots.
 
On Tuesday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis warned that the EU will have no choice but to impose sanctions if Turkey continues to create tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.
