On Saturday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu threatened to launch a war against Greece, which raises the current tension between the two countries to an unprecedented level.
"Greece cannot expand the borders of its territorial waters to 12 miles in the Aegean Sea, as this is a reason for war," Cavusoglu said, according to what was quoted by the official "Anatolia" agency.
Earlier, Turkish Vice President Fuad Aktay threatened Greece with the same thing.
Greece responded to the speech of the Turkish Vice President, through its Foreign Ministry, which said in a statement, Saturday, that Athens' exercise of its sovereign rights is not subject to any form of Turkish veto.
