Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has warned Cyprus not to “overstep the mark” in the eastern Mediterranean after the Cypriot government accused the Turkish military of blocking an Eni drill rig from exploring for natural gas since Friday, Reuters reports. “Our warships and security units are following all developments in the region with the instruction to do whatever is necessary,” he said. Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades declined to comment on Erdogan’s remarks, but said there was no cause for worry.
