According to Marine Traffic, the Turkish seismic research ship ORUC REIS is near its usual port of Antalya, this might mean that the Turks will withdraw their ships from the East Med in the coming days as the threats of sanctions were increasing and the meeting that would decide wether they would get sanctioned or not was drawing closer

We must also note that the conditions set by the Turks to have negotiations are way heavier on the Greeks than on themselves, because after all, Germany is mediating it so that bias is to be expected.

We must now wait to see if the Turks will issue another NAVTEX in the upcoming days and if Greece will also withdraw their forces from the region

General info on ORUC REIS:

IMPORTANT: According to reports from the Turkish media, the decision to return Oruc Reis to Turkey and not to renew Navtex was made due to talks between the two countries in NATO

IMPORTANT: Turkish Defense Minister after Oruc Reis anchored in Attaleia (Antalya): "We want peace. We are in favor of dialogue and good neighborly relations with Athens, if our wishes and demands are met. "We want the existing problems to be resolved" also said that Turkey is always in favor of dialogue and that they expect Athens to withdraw their ships in the following hours also

This sounds too much like another attempt by the Turkish Government to save itself and blame Greece for not wanting dialogue like when NATO Secretary General made a statement saying that both countries would have agreed to have a dialogue and the Turkish government used it to blame Greece, saying that Greece had backed down even after Soltenberg himself had said that no agreement had been made
Today the Turkish Defense Minister talked about "18 militarized Greek islands in violation of international agreements and increases tensions" , called for the "demilitarization of Kastelorizo" and said that France was inciting Greece and complained about Kastellorizo's EEZ being too big
