Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has openly questioned the sovereignty of certain unnamed Greek islands in the Aegean Sea,


Repeating the long-standing Turkish arguments on Turkey’s maritime borders dispute with Greece, Erdogan said that “no one should try to blockade us, to trap us in our own coasts or trample on our economic rights.”

But, he added that “we do not intend to start conflicts with anyone for no reason or deprive someone of their rights.”
