This morning, the French Junior European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune called on the European Union (EU) to stand firm against Turkey, noting that this could mean possible sanctions.
In a televised statement to France 2 television, he added, “In the short-term, there must be signals of resolve. We will see if there are sanctions."
European Union leaders are due to meet in Brussels later Thursday for two days of discussions over tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean and relations with Turkey.
