BERLIN/BRUSSELS - The European Union is preparing sanctions against Turkey that could be discussed at the bloc's next summit on Sept 24 in response to the eastern Mediterranean dispute with Greece, the EU's top diplomat said on Friday .
Greece and Turkey are at odds over the rights to potential hydrocarbon resources in the area, based on conflicting claims over the extent of their continental shelves. Mr Borrell, who chaired the meeting, said the bloc was ready to sanction Turkish vessels, block their access to EU ports and cut off supplies."We can go to measures related to sectoral activities... where the Turkish economy is related to the European economy,"Mr Borrell told a news conference, referring to possible sanctions.
Turkey is also a formal candidate to join the EU, although its candidacy is also at risk and could be withdrawn as a type of sanction, diplomats have said.
