ATHENS, KOMPAS.com - Tension between Greece and Turkey remained high on Tuesday after a conflict arose from a Turkish research vessel meant to carry out seismic research for energy resources.

Both countries have since sent warships in the eastern Mediterranean.

Greece slammed Turkey’s decision asserting that the Turkish research vessel was inside an area covered by the Greek continental shelf.

The EU member-state has also slammed Turkey’s decision calling it an illegal act that infringed on Greece’s sovereign rights.

Ankara announced on Monday that its research vessel Oruc Reis and two support vessels would be operating in the Mediterranean Sea between Cyprus and Greece until August 23.

The vessel arrived in the area Monday morning, escorted by Turkish warships.

Greek warships were in the area and were monitoring the Oruc Reis, and the military was on alert, officials said.
