Tensions in the Mediterranean

Not a very good article from the BBC which says that the relationship between Turkey and Greece is both "flaring" in the headline but also "icey" in the article itself. The piece doesn't address international law nor past agreements, and though it mentions the partition of 1974 of Cyprus, it doesn't mention how it happened. It does however contain this revealing quote:

Turkey's vice-president said last month that Ankara was tearing up maps "drawn to imprison us on the mainland", and Ankara insists it is acting with the UN's Law of the Sea.
