was the greek jets which were harassed by turkish fighter jets as they returned to base increase the region is claimed by both countries and has become the center of an escalating dispute the un is calling for a swift and peaceful end to the crisis it's critical that the differences the be resolved peacefully our understanding is that greece and turkey have been engaged in biological discussions and just recently he urges them to continue with that dialogue he's also aware of diplomatic efforts being undertaken and supports these efforts that could contribute to a lowering of tensions in the region well the e.u. is pushing for more dialogue but hasn't ruled out the possibility of sanctions on turkey on friday the blocks foreign policy chief said the measures but i'm to limit turkey's ability to look for energy sources in contested water it's 1st you know there now we are listing personalities we can pass to lease to assets

restrictions to individuals so the climate at the informal meeting shows that europe has finally rallied behind greece and cyprus it has largely adopted greek and separate positions to put pressure on turkey to come to the table greece wants negotiations to begin on the basis of international maritime law and should they fail it wants turkey to commit beforehand to arbitration at the international court at the hague. stephanie decker is in istanbul she says the dispute has bought up the questions for the entire region. we're no longer talking about just 2 sides here you're just talking turkey versus greece you have major international implications to this you have deals being done greece egypt you have deals being done turkey libya you have the eastern med having a gas forum that is excluded turkey countries like israel egypt cyprus greece involved in that turkey really saying that it feels sidelined when it comes to any

sort of profit any sort of involvement of these disputed waters so we're looking at disputed maritime borders you're looking at unresolved legal issues both sides you know claiming that it's there are so none of this is resolved so it's very very difficult at the moment you have a situation where you have a lot of military hardware in a very small space military ships naval vessels france is also sense a port so i think certainly it's something that analysts will tell you it is tense they don't expect at the moment a huge escalation but certainly mistakes can happen and when the situation is so tense of asli that is a concert. you is going ahead with sanctions on 20 senior belorussian officials over this month's disputed election and the crackdown on protesters president alexander lukashenko says he's prepared to retaliate by cutting off trade routes in a cave reports from berlin. for weeks protesters have been on the streets of

workers and students collectives but not those on the streets. of violent thugs who roam the streets and shout that they want a dialogue they don't want dialogue and nobody from the authorities will hold any negotiations on the street if there are seen people from the opposition which see its country is free and independent welcome but while he wants to be seen as ready to listen has put his armed forces in combat ready mode and appealed to russia for help president vladimir putin has said he is prepared to send a police reserve if necessary some people in the west have likened the opposition movement in belarus to those that toppled communism in eastern europe in the late 1980 s. the german chancellor angela merkel lived through those times in east berlin which is why she feels an empathy with the protesters in jail or us and believes their grievances should be heard. i hope the groups that have now courageously

taken to the streets the people who have denounced abuses that they will have that degree of freedom which we can take for granted freedom of demonstration freedom of opinion. by bringing in targeted sanctions the e.u. is trying to deliver a clear message to alexander lucas shameka but in return his message is equally clear he is not going anywhere anytime soon dominic kane al-jazeera berlin. well neighboring lithuania is becoming increasingly vocal about the situation in the 2 have a close and complicated relationship the nations share a 680 kilometer long border both were part of the soviet union and formally established relations after the dissolution of the u.s.s.r. in 1991 when he has become a key transit in trade route for land locked. or but it's been his life for us in the lithuanian capital so bernard is the country increasingly nervous about what's
