During the conversation, developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey-EU relations were discussed.

Erdoğan stated that the EU should fulfil its obligations on a fair basis to prevent the steps that escalate tension in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean by Greece and some EU member states.

Emphasizing that the provocative remarks and steps regarding regional issues by European politicians would not contribute to producing a solution, Erdoğan stated that the EU's stance in the Eastern Mediterranean would serve as a test of sincerity in terms of international law and regional peace.

Erdoğan called on the EU institutions and member states to pursue a fair, unbiased, and objective stance and act responsibly as regards all regional issues, primarily the Eastern Mediterranean. (ILKHA)
