Turkish President Rechep Tayyip Ardoan has fiercely targeted France and Greece on Sunday. Ardoan called him greedy and inept.

France and Greece have challenged Turkey's energy exploration campaign in the eastern Mediterranean. Ardoan is angry with this.

There is a lot of tension in Greece and Turkey over the discovery of energy reserves in the eastern Mediterranean. France has also come with Greece openly against Turkey.

Even in Europe, a kind of mobilization against Turkey is being seen. Greece, France and Turkey are members of all three NATO. In such a situation, only Neto members are entangled.

According to the news agency AFP, Ardoan has told his officials, "Greece and France will have to suffer because of their greedy and incompetent leaders."

On 10 August, the Turkish research vessel sailed into the waters of Greece. Since then, the navies of both countries are in action. Navies of both countries are also conducting maneuvers.

France's jet fighters stand in favor of Greece. France has also warned Turkey not to play with threats. French President Emmanuel Macron had said that Turkey does not understand the way to negotiate.

Ardoan said on Sunday, "If the time comes to fight both France and Greece, we will not hesitate to make sacrifices." The question is, if they stand against us in the Mediterranean, are they ready for sacrifice? "

On Saturday, Turkey announced that it was going to conduct military exercises in northern Cyprus.

Earlier, Turkey and Greece had announced that they would hold military exercises in protest against each other near the island of Crete, Greece on Tuesday.

The dispute between the two countries over claims over oil and gas reserves in the eastern Mediterranean has increased. Turkey has issued an official warning that the ships should stay away from the region.

Greece also announced military exercises after Turkey announced to pursue its investigative mission. Tensions between Greece and Turkey have increased since the discovery of oil and gas reserves in the disputed watershed near Crete and Cyprus.

President Ardoan had said, "Not a single step will be overtaken by the movements of the Turkish Oruk Reis and the warships escorting it."

He said that Greece has put itself in such trouble that it cannot find a way out.

Greece also adopted an aggressive attitude last month when Turkey issued a naval warning Navtex while sending its ship. Greece had asked Turkey to withdraw its ship in search of oil in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
