Turkish National Defense Ministry spokeswoman Maj. Pinar Kara has said that Greece continued to deploy naval vessels to demilitarised islands in the eastern Aegean Sea, sending assault boats to Meis island just a few miles from Turkey.
"Despite all of Turkey's positive and constructive efforts, Greece continues its provocative and unlawful actions," Kara said in a news conference on Monday.
"However, Turkey maintains its efforts in favour of resolving the issue through dialogue and negotiations based on international law and good neighbourly relations via peaceful means," she added.
Taking note of a recent meeting between the two countries under a deconfliction mechanism at NATO headquarters, she said Greece had yet to respond to an official invitation for a fourth confidence-building meeting.
