Turkey rejects 'biased, unlawful' EU sanctions plan: foreign ministry

ANKARA (AFP) - Turkey on Friday dismissed as "biased" and "unlawful" the EU’s move to draw up a list of Turkish targets for sanctions in response to its drilling activities in the eastern Mediterranean.

"We reject the biased and unlawful attitude which had to be inserted into the December 10 EU summit conclusions after the pressure of solidarity and veto," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
