According to diplomatic sources, Pompeo pointed to the provocative actions of Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean, Libya, Syria, and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Referring to relations between Greece and Turkey, Pompeo noted that the de-escalation mechanism, which does not work due to Turkey's fault, should be restarted.
