Greece cancelled the permit granted to the German research vessel “Meteor” for scientific researches in the Aegean. The problems with the vessel, which belongs to the University of Hamburg, started last week, when it started its researches in the area of Limnos island. The crew of “Meteor” had been granted a permit by Greek authorities for researches, however on December 29th, Turkish authorities asked the vessel to leave, claiming that it had been sailing in Turkish territorial waters without permit.
