“Libya offers us drilling with our rigs in the Mediterranean” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Drilling south of Crete in cooperation with Libya was provocatively announced on Wednesday by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the shadow of the statements of the head of the NOC (National Oil Company) on cooperation with Greece and Egypt in the energy sector, and mining agreements with Italy…
“We will do our drilling in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, but we have the capabilities with our ships to go to third countries that have gas fields to drill and extract the gas and together sell it to other countries,” Erdoğan said according to the correspondent of SKAI in Istanbul Manolis Kostidis, although the UN and the West they do not recognize the Turkish-Libyan memoranda.
He continued, asserting that “proposals are coming in this direction from various countries First in line is Libya. They tell us that we can enter into this kind of cooperation. There is this situation.”
The Turkish president also threatened that Athens is in the range of the Tayfun ballistic missile, and that the next step will be to increase its range.
“Our last test was with him Tayfun which drove the Greeks crazy. In the next step they will increase its range. That is more than 561 kilometers. Of course the Greeks were afraid of the range as Athens is within his range.
We cannot accept Greece’s attitude lately. We cannot remain passive and silent in this aggressive and hostile attitude. And we respond with our works (referring to Tayfun) instead of producing words, we produce works. Greece needs to get its heads together. He must learn that he can’t get anywhere with provocations and provocations,” the Turkish president said in an interview with the A Haber television network.
