The French, Italian and Cypriot navies will conduct naval drills south of Cyprus on Thursday, the Cypriot Ministry of Defence announced on Wednesday.

The joint military exercise will take place inside the island’s exclusive economic zone, and will include passing exercises to practice communications and foster a sense of cooperation between the navies, the Greek Reporter said.

Many observers view the exercise as a response to recent aggressive moves by Turkey, the news site said.

When Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt decided to partition the East Med by violating Turkish sovereignty, no one was furious.

Now there is a Turkey, Libya deal just to show that their attempt is worthless without the participation of all states.

Then suddenly hell broke loose
