EU To Discuss Measures On Turkey’s Military Activity in Syria

Brussels – Foreign Ministers from the EU on Monday set to discuss possible measures to enact against Turkey for its military incursions inside Syria, which will also be on the agenda of the EU’s summit scheduled for Thursday.

Cyprus, an EU member state, had long objected to what it called Turkey’s illegal drilling in Cyprus’s Exclusive Economic zone. “This meeting is important not only for the decisions it can take, but also to prepare the European Council, “ Mogherini said.
