Dendias completely made a fool of Çavuşoğlu during their live joint statement.
Highlights that the Treaty of Lausanne affirms there's no Turkish minority, but a Muslim one.
Says if Turkey "wants" to join EU like it says it does, it must acknowledge UNCLOS.
More details coming.

Dendias said to Çavuşoğlu that "the only solution that is accepted by the entire international community is the bi-zonal-bi-communal federation of Cyprus."
Regarding Hagia Sophia, Dendias said: "We believe that such a reversal is in the interest of Turkey in general. Greece and Turkey are destined by geography to live together."
Dendias said "On this occasion, I would like to express to my friend Mevlüt the invitation to visit Athens and to prepare for the meeting of the President of Turkey with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis."
Dendias highlighted that "Turkey has made 400 overflights over Greek territory. Mevlüt, there is no provision allowing flights over Greek territory (...) If Turkey wants to join the EU, it must accept the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."
"Greece is ready to start slowly on a positive agenda with Turkey. This does not mean abandoning international law and the European acquis." - Dendias in Turkey.
"The EU is not a third party but it is our family. It is the proudest example of states coexistencing in the history of the human race (...) I would suggest that we do not lead to an endless dialogue on what we know we disagree about." Dendias said re: Turkey wanting to join EU.
