The Turkish foreign ministry
said Thursday that "we urge once again all the members of the
EU, and in particular Italy, to abandon an approach that ignores
the rights of the Turkish Cypriots".
In a phone conversation with Turkish counterpart Mevlut
Cavusoglu Wednesday, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio voiced
"Italy's concern over the presence of Turkish ships engaged in
unauthorised drilling activities to the south of Cyprus'
exclusive economic zone.
The Turkish foreign ministry called this an "unpleasant
statement".
