Turkey is planning to start negotiations with Syria to delineate maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean Sea, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu said.
Such a deal would allow the two countries to “increase their area of influence” in energy exploration, Uraloglu told reporters in the capital Ankara on Tuesday. Any future agreement will be in line with international law, he said.
