Greek PM slams map showing major Greek islands as Turkish

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister has called upon Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to clarify whether a map displayed by a nationalist ally of Erdogan’s that showed several major, inhabited Greek islands as Turkish is official Turkish policy. Greece and Turkey have been at loggerheads for decades over a series of issues, including disputes over undersea exploration rights in the Aegean Sea and the sovereignty of uninhabited islets.  The two neighbors have come to the brink of war three times in the past half century. The map was given by the ultranationalist Grey Wolves group to Devlet Bahceli, leader of a nationalist party allied with Erdogan. It depicts Crete, Greece’s largest island, and all eastern Aegean Greek islands as being Turkish.
