Zitat:Turkey sends war vessels to the coast of Cyprus
NTV News Channel has announced that Turkey sent war vessels to Cyprus coast on Thursday morning.
The crisis, which exploded after the Greek side's government allowed Egyptian and Lebanese companies to explore for oil near the coast of the Island, has caused Turkey to send war vessels in the area in order to prove its decisiveness on the issue.
Chief of General Staff Büyükanıt: "We already have warships located in that area. There are no new appointments"
