The Turkish ship "Oruk Reis" has resumed natural gas exploration near the Greek islands, Ankara announced today, despite international appeals to stop these activities.

"The research vessel has arrived in the area of ​​investigation, they started yesterday and today we are getting the first data," Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Donmez said, Anadolia reported.

Turkey announced on Sunday that it is again sending a research vessel to the eastern Mediterranean, in the area where it was in August and September.

It was announced that the new action will last until October 22.

A dispute over gas exploration in August brought the navies of two NATO members to the brink of conflict in the area between Cyprus and the Greek island of Crete.
