Nato is to investigate French allegations that Turkish warships
targeted a French one in a confrontation over the Libya conflict, which
has divided allies.
"The incident in the Mediterranean [Sea] was addressed in the meeting
by several allies", Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said after
Nato defence ministers held video-talks on Thursday (18 June).
"We have made sure that Nato military authorities are investigating
the incident to bring full clarity to what happened," he said.
Turkish warships locked their weapons systems on to a French frigate
called the Courbet, which was part of a Nato monitoring mission called
Sea Guardian, on 10 June, according to France.
And they did it in order to slip through yet another illegal shipment
of arms to Turkey's ally in the Libya civil war, the Tripoli-based
Government of National Accord (GNA), France said.
Note EU-Digest:
Curious - Whenever, or each time we put the
President of Turkey's name ,Erdogan into the "Labels" column of our blog
(EU-Digest), we were posting, the blog reported an error, and we had to
go back and re-post the entire content of the blog, and rewrite the
"labels" removing Erdogan's name for it to work. Does this mean
censorship by either some internal or external "source", or is it a real
technical error? This is not the first time it happened when other
sensitive issues were published.
