Turkey expects 'equity' from EU amid Eastern Mediterranean tension

The Turkish vice president Saturday called on the EU for equity amid ongoing tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.

In an exclusive interview with Anadolu Agency, Fuat Oktay said: "Turkey expects equity from the EU, no one should expect Ankara to take a step back based on this equity."

Oktay further said: "If the Greek attempts to expand its territorial waters isn't a cause of war, then what is?" stressing that the country "will protect its rights on every cubic meter in the Eastern Mediterranean waters no matter what."
