In response to Turkey’s criticism of the United States' “unbalanced” approach towards its territorial conflicts with Greece and Cyprus, Washington has underscored its efforts to counter the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Washington’s security cooperation with Turkey and Greece “does not come from a position of partiality or imbalance towards any single partner,” US Ambassador to Turkey Jeff Flake said in a statement released on the embassy’s Twitter account.
