Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned Greece against "irrational moves" in the Aegean, stating that Turkish armed forces and coast guard units are in a "sensitive state." He expressed hope that no one would take reckless action in the region. Fidan cautioned that if there is intent for "adventurous steps," Turkey's seriousness and strength are known to all. He added that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan shows willingness to resolve issues through dialogue with each new government.
