Turkey will give Greece "the answer it deserves" after the conflict over the waters in the Eastern Mediterranean, the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said today.

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

"The Greek part of the Cypriot administration that did not keep the promise made by the European Union (EU) and NATO will get the answer they deserve on the ground," Erdgoan said.

He said in a speech in the Turkish parliament that Turkey will send another ship to the disputed waters.

The US and Germany, which are NATO allies of Turkey and Greece, labeled the gas exploration mission a provocation and asked Ankara to recall the ship.

Turkey ignored the calls of the international community.
