“The EU has no right to criticize the exploration activities of our country on its own continental shelf and demand that it be stopped,” TASS quotes him.
According to him, Ankara calls on the EU not to support the demands of Greece, "contrary to international law."
Turkey also called on the EU to act impartially to resolve the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Earlier, the EU said it would impose sanctions against Turkey for illegal drilling activities in the Eastern Mediterranean.
