GREECE REPEATS IT CAN DECIDE ON AEGEAN DRILLING

  Greece, replying to a warning from Turkey
  that it will stop Athens from seeking oil in the Aegean Sea,
  repeated today that it has an exclusive right to decide where
  or when to drill in the area.
      A government spokesman said in a statement that if Ankara
  believed Greece was contravening international law, it could
  bring the issue before the courts.
      The spokesman was responding to a statement by Turkish
  Foreign Ministry spokesman Yalim Eralp that Ankara would take
  action to stop Greece's oil activities beyond its territorial
  waters as they were a violation of the 1976 Berne accord.
