Turkey on Monday deemed
"extremely regrettable"
the decision of the European Union to sanction a Turkish company for violating the embargo on arms sales imposed on Libya by the United Nations.
“At a time when efforts are being made to reduce tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, taking such a wrong decision is extremely regrettable,”
the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement, saying the decision was
“of no value”
in Ankara's eyes.
