'Neo Ottoman conqueror' - Turkish submarine heads to Cyprus, leaves NATO maneuvers group baffled. (Famagusta).
A Turkish submarine abruptly left manoeuvres during a NATO exercise and sailed off the eastern coast of Cyprus near Cape Greco, reports local TV station Sigmalive.
The sub sailed near "blocks 3 and 13 of the Cyprus EEZ passed between Cypriot boats and foreign ships”, the channel reported.
The submarine was taking part in "Blue Whale", a NATO naval military exercise, which started Monday in the Mediterranean.
Submarines, frigates and naval air elements are participating in the exercise which includes submarine-warfare manoeuvres.
The channel cited unnamed NATO sources that were apparently ‘irked’ by the sudden unannounced Turkish action.
There has been no comment from the government in Nicosia.Hmmm.....Erdogan's BFF and 'Israel's staunchest Ally' Pres Obama is delivering State of the art Torpedoes to Turkey.
