Turkey: EU should remain unbiased in dispute with Greece

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told the European Parliament on Thursday that the European Union did not have jurisdiction over maritime boundaries and it should remain unbiased in Turkey’s dispute with Greece.

Addressing the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee via videoconference, Cavusoglu said Turkey was ready for “unconditional” dialogue with Greece and the bloc.

EU leaders will address the issue at a summit on Sept. 24-25, as Greece has called for sanctions on Ankara.
