The Turkish government is seeking to tap into eastern Med's natural gas and oil reserves, while ignoring International laws and discarding neighboring countries Exclusive economic zones.
So acting basically like a pirate and threating each day with war. Let me give you a few examples and you can verify them later any way you wish.
In Cyprus the sent -not one but two- drilling ships and research vessels to search for oil, with the escort of Turkish Navy of course. They failed to find gas in one location and are moving to the next. To add insult to the injury they even say they will share what the find, like a thief saying he will sell your stuff and share with you the money...
In Greece were I live, there is a lot of up-heat with the recently signed Turkish-Lybian moratorium which basically ignores the Greek island of Crete (as well others smaller ones) and declares EEZ with Lybia, which they call "neighbours" (look at a map please), at the same time ignoring the rights of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.
Also search for the clean water crisis in Iraq, which Turkish government is ...also to be blamed. Basically they build dams cutting Euphrates river flow and DENYING their neighbor's RIGHT for clean water, violating other International agreements.
