Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed a more assertive position regarding what his government views as stepped up Turkish provocations throughout much of the eastern Mediterranean of late, telling Bloomberg on Thursday that Athens has observed a “constant state of provocation” and that Turkey is staking out Greek maritime zones.
