Turkey “is sending out the wrong message” and does not “help,” said the spokesperson for Foreign Affairs & Security Policy of the EU when asked about the announcement of Turkey for a new NAVTEX for seismic surveys in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Nabila Massrali stressed that “Turkey, as a candidate country, needs to be clearly committed to good neighborly relations, international agreements and the peaceful settlement of disputes under the UN Charter, appealing to the International Court of Justice, if necessary.”
Finally, Nabila Massrali noted that “the European Union has repeatedly stressed that the delimitation of the exclusive economic zone/continental shelf must be addressed through dialogue and negotiation in good faith.”
