Turkey extends disputed East Med gas exploration mission again

Turkey has once again extended a hydrocarbon research mission in contested waters in the Eastern Mediterranean, ignoring Greek warnings that such moves undercut efforts to resolve the dispute between the NATO allies.

The Turkish navy said on Sunday in a message on the international maritime alert system NAVTEX that the Oruc Reis vessel would stay in the area for seismic investigations until November 14, extending its activities from the previously announced end date of November 4.
