TURKEY: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has “broken off” high-level talks with Greece over disputes in the Mediterranean, he told MPs yesterday.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis “no longer exists” for him, he said, after Mr Mitsotakis allegedly sought to block Turkey from purchasing US weaponry.
