"I don't mean to attack you, but I'm going to give you an honest answer. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to remain objective. You must be able to distinguish between reality and wishful thinking.
Agreed. I'm not taking this as an attack,we're just discussing.
Let’sstart with your chosen nickname, Foinikas.
It is telling that you use the name of a village in Cyprus that stands as a symbol of persecution and displacement. Foinika, located on the west coast,
The name literally means "Phoenix" in Greek and it is an often used nickname by several Greeks online. It has nothing to do with some village in Cyprus. Finikas(or the greeklish form Foinikas)is simply the name of both the ancient bird and the palm tree.
By 1974, these attacks escalated to such a degree that the Turkish residents were forced to flee into the mountains for their lives. Even though the conflict officially ended in October 1974, it took until August 1975 for the survivors to be brought to safety under UN protection. Today, Foinikais a ghost village. Using this name while making groundless claims shows a profound lack of historical empathy and suggests a hostile intent rather than a desire for an objective dialogue.
Again,like in your post yesterday,you rush to conclusions,which are wrong.
Regarding the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and your reliance on the so-called Seville Map: You claim that Kastellorizo—a tiny island far from the Greek mainland—can generate a massive EEZ. While you feel validated by the supportive statements of some EU politicians, you lack a deeper understanding of international maritime law and established legal precedents. Political statements are not international law. For instance, international courts did not grant a full EEZ claim to the Ukrainian Snake Island in its dispute with Romania. Furthermore, look at the maritime boundary between France and the United Kingdom: France successfully restricted the EEZ claims of the British Channel Islands located right off the French coast. The International Court of Justice consistently applies the principle of equity and proportionality. An island cannot 'cut off' a major continental coastline from its natural maritime jurisdiction.
It's not just the "EU politicians". It's a lot more organizations that support our EEZ claim and also,like I showed you,UNCLOS which allows islands which can sustain habibation and economic activity,the right to an EEZ of up to 200 nm. Of course it almost always can be regulated between two countries in good will or some agreement.
You forget that the British Channel Islands are not directly part of the UK. They are Crown Dependencies,not part of the UK.
To be clear: Turkey has no intention of going to war with Greece, unless itis forced to do so. However, it is a well-known fact that Turkey cannot and will not accept a 12-mile expansion of territorial waters or the extreme EEZ claims regarding Kastellorizo. Further more, the increasing militarization of the islands is unacceptable. When such claims are pushed despite knowing they will never be accepted, the intent behind them is clearly provocation.
Man,Turkey has been adding problems on the table in the span of 40 years. Every decade and from from the mid-2010s onward every few years,a new "invention" comes,
a new theory,a new claim,which strains our relationship. It is in fact,because Turkey abandoned the stance it kept for 50 years and suddenly started finding "provocations" in everything,especially in things it didn't mind for 50 years.
We went from this:
To this:
Take the recent deployment of air defense systems on Samothraki, for example. If we analyze the purpose, it serves no strategic function other than to provoke. Consider a scenario where a Turkish jet flies within the 10-mile airspace Greece claims (despite only having a 6-mile seazone)—a claim no other country in the world recognizes, as airspace cannot exceed territorial waters. If Greece were to shoot down a jet under these circumstances, it would be a declaration of war.
By air defence,I suppose you mean Patriot? Who told you that Greece has moved Patriot to Samothraki? Greece has moved Patriot to Karpathos,which is exactly near Crete. Second,we moved Patriot up north at the request of Bulgaria,which asked for anti-ballistic protection of at least part of their country.
Let’s look at the reality of such a conflict:
The entire island of Samothraki is within the range of artillery stationed on Gökçeada. Turkey could neutralize the military infrastructure there using simple, conventional means. Within 24hours, Turkey would be in a position to secure the islands along its coastline.
At that point, Greece would likely be forced to capitulate.
So your point is,Greece should not "provoke" Turkey by having even a token defence on the islands,because Turkey will take them easily. Yet,Turkey can have all the forces it wants right opposite the islands. You can have an entire Aegean Army,you can place marine brigades,landing craft,artillery and AA systems all along the coast,but Greece should not even try to defend. Komsun,I thought you said something about
objectivity 
To any Greek who believes that countries like France or the UK will rush to your aid: I must disappoint you.
No foreign power will bleed forthese provocations.
Not unless its in their interest. Most Greeks don't have illusions that foreigners will rush to save us. But Turks shouldn't be betting on that. Because sometimes,you bet wrong and you get to pay.
I leave you with a thought by Blaise Pascal:
Truth is so´obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.'
You won't find the truth reading Anadolu and Yeni Safak...
I hope you choose to love the truth over nationalistic narratives. True security comes from diplomacy and respecting your neighbor, not from testing these realities based on outdated imperial dreams."
Are you saying that to yourself,komsun?
Because,we're not the ones who are literally back on their imperial dreams,that's Erdogan's Turkey the last 10 years.
We're not the ones with bases in Libya,Syria,Northern Iraq,Azerbaijan,Somalia,Qatar and Albania. We're not the ones who are involved in the war in Sudan or claiming that our borders are not our current physical borders
We're not the ones with a government making such videos
We're not the one building a second aircraft carrier,destroyers,more submarines,buying
new fighter jets,while building manned and unmanned ones,making ballistic missiles
and UCAVs. We're not arming like we want to take over the entire region in a future war.
And we're not printing maps of revisionist irridentist ideas that include parts of other countries' territory as ours.
That's you.
All that,is you. You do that.
You have a president who shouts "
We might come one night,suddenly..."
You have a parliamentary partner who says "
I will include the Dodecanese and Western Thrace in Turkey" and who talked about the turkishness of Aleppo
You had a Vice President who longed to take Chios and Kastellorizo and made revisionist comments.
You have MPs of the ruling party who make comments like "we can be in Selanik in 5 hours,we can be in Athens in 5 hours"
My neighbor,before you accuse Greeks of nationalism and imperial plans,take a good,
take a very good,hard look on your government first. And try to actually be objective.
