The breakaway region of Somaliland has issued a stern warning to Somalia regarding a potential Turkish Navy deployment in its maritime zones.
The region’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Somaliland said in a statement released today that it “vehemently rejects any potential deployment of Turkish naval forces within Somaliland’s recognized maritime zones.”
The warning comes after an earlier announcement that Turkey was poised to send its navy support to Somali waters following an agreement between Ankara and Mogadishu. The agreement allows Turkey to send an exploration vessel off the coast of Somalia to prospect for oil and gas.
