Petsas said today, that the Turkish decision, in statements to Sky News, to return the ship "Uruç Reis" to Ankara is a positive sign, waiting to be confirmed with other steps in the same direction.

The latest withdrawal comes after a long period of tension between Greece and Turkey, which made the European Union countries, led by France, enter the line and threaten sanctions against Turkey if it continued its provocations in the Mediterranean.
