Turkey's President Erdogan says any attack on a Turkish ship exploring for oil and gas in disputed Mediterranean waters would incur a 'high price' and suggested Turkey had already acted on that warning.
The Oruc Reis set out on Monday with its military escort to survey waters between Crete and Cyprus.
European Union foreign ministers, who have already imposed sanctions on two Turkish energy executives over Turkey's operations in the eastern Mediterranean, will discuss the situation on Friday. Erdogan spoke by phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and E.U. Council President Charles Michel on Thursday. He"reiterated his commitment to defend Turkey's rights against attempts to disregard them," Erdogan's office said of the call with Michel.
