Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Friday the discovery of a vast natural gas field in the Black Sea. With the prospect of long-term energy security, Erdogan is also vowing to step up energy exploration in Aegean and eastern Mediterranean waters that Greece says it controls.
“Turkey has made its biggest natural gas discovery,” said Erdogan at a news conference, calling it a “historic day” and adding that the discovery offers Turkey a “new era.”
