Turkey issues new NAVTEX for “ORUC REIS” south of Kastelorizo
A new NAVTEX was issued last night by Turkey for surveys conducted by “ORUC REIS” south of Kastelorizo, as Turkish media report. According to the new NAVTEX, the mission of “ORUC REIS” starts today, October 12 and will continue until October 22. It will be escorted by “Ataman” and “Cengiz Han” ships of the Turkish Navy.
According to the pro-government “A Haber” channel, those who said that “Turkey withdrew the ORUC REIS and stopped the seismic surveys” once again proved to be wrong.
