US Senators urge Pompeo to tell Turkey to cease provocations in Eastern Mediterranean
US Senators and co -chairs of the Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance Ted Deutch and Gus Bilirakis have urged Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to make it clear to the Erdogan government that Turkey must cease its provocations in the region and the Oruc Reis and its armed escort must return home.
In a letter they sent Pompeo, yesterday, the two Senators express their concerns “over Turkey’s latest provocations in the Eastern Mediterranean.”
“By sending the survey ship Oruc Reis with armed escort into areas over which Greece and Cyprus assert jurisdiction, Turkey risks an escalation that endangers American strategic interests,” they note.
