At the end of August, warships from Greece, Italy, Cyprus and France conduct a military exercise in the eastern Mediterranean. Turkey speaks of piracy. Land is now following suit with its own military exercise. In the midst of the dispute over the gas search in the eastern Mediterranean, Turkey has announced a military exercise off Cyprus. Under the name “Mediterranean storm” it should begin on Sunday and last until Thursday, as the Turkish Ministry of Defense announced. Units from the Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus are also to take part. The aim is to improve “mutual training, cooperation and interoperability” between the Turkish mainland and the troop command on the divided Mediterranean island, it said. In the eastern Mediterranean, the dispute between NATO partners Greece and Turkey over natural gas in the sea area has been escalating for weeks. Greece accuses Turkey of illegally exploring deposits off Greek islands. The government in Ankara, however, rejects the allegations and takes the position that the waters in which natural gas is being drilled on a trial basis belong to the Turkish continental shelf.

Gas dispute with Turkey Greece starts military exercises in the Mediterranean

In the wake of the dispute, warships from Greece, Italy, Cyprus and France took part in a joint military exercise that took place south of Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean a few weeks ago. At the end of August, Turkey accused Greece of “piracy” and warned that it would defend itself against the alleged efforts of Athens to militarize the islands off its coast. During military maneuvers there was also a collision between a Greek and a Turkish warship. The island of Cyprus has been divided since a Turkish military intervention in 1974. In the north, a Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was established with Turkish help, but this is only recognized by Ankara. Turkish troops are also stationed there. The entire island is internationally recognized as the Republic of Cyprus and has been a member of the EU since 2004.
