Hey, @StateDept. Unfortunately, urging #Turkey to refrain from or halt provocative actions isn’t doing the trick. What could work is holding Ankara accountable. #CAATSA sanctions are a good start, as is making it clear that the only country "disputing" these waters is Turkey.
During the Imia Crisis in 1996, the US took the position that it wouldn't take a position despite generally agreeing with #Greece that this should go to the #ICJ and that it had the better argument. US Ambassador to Greece Thomas Niles, made it clear this was a “big mistake”.
