"We strongly condemn its dangerous behavior in targeting a French naval vessel, as part of a NATO mission to impose an arms embargo approved by the United Nations earlier this month," Gargash added in a tweet on Twitter.

A few days ago, Paris escalated its stance towards Turkish interference in Libya, describing it as "unacceptable", and asserting that "France cannot allow this," according to what was issued by the Elysee Palace.

It is "a more aggressive and hardening policy by Turkey with the deployment of seven ships off Libya and the violation of the arms embargo," it said.

"The Turks are behaving in an unacceptable way by using NATO, and France cannot allow that," she added.
