Turkey warns against unilateral moves in the Aegean that could raise tension, saying dialogue and confidence-building measures are best to solve territorial diputes with Greece.

Turkey has warned against unilateral moves in the Aegean that could raise tension, saying dialogue and confidence-building measures would help resolve territorial disputes with Greece.

“Relations with Greece are not like in the past,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Burak Özügergin said Wednesday at a weekly press conference. He said mechanisms have been established with Greece since the 1990s when the two countries came to the brink of war over control of the uninhabited island of Imia, or Kardak.

Özügergin said the problems in the Aegean were all interdependent and added: “We want to see an Aegean that unites us, not separate us.”
