Excerpt from the article published on "Kosovapost.net":
Greece, which showed great interest in the ship after the announcement that Turkey's fourth drilling ship Abdulhamid Han would begin its mission, is not comfortable even though the ship began operating at the first point of the mission. Stating that they are on 72-hour alert, the Greek press says that their concerns continue today. On the other hand, the Greek press, which had previously developed 3 different scenarios for the ship's mission, today added a new scenario and claimed that the ship Abdulhamid Han could be stopped by threats from Serbia and another scenario where the ship would take responsibility around Evros, KosovaPost reports.
After Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the ship's first mission, the Greek newspaper Ta Nea wrote:
"Should we remove our guards from the Mediterranean Sea and enter into negotiations with Serbia to accept Albin Kurti's conditions... It is not possible."
The article's claim that Kosovo is part of the scenario of developments in the Eastern Mediterranean where Turkey begins oil and gas exploration via a drilling ship is unverified. The article refers to the Greek newspaper "Ta Nea", in which newspaper searches were made to reach the source where Kosovo is mentioned in this development and no results were found with the claims mentioned in the title and content of the published article.
The news about the start of gas and oil exploration by Turkey and the scenarios that Greece foresees regarding this event have been published in the Albanian and Greek language media. (see here, here, here, here and here)
