Turkey Greece Relations and Maritime Disputes

[hyperman]

As long as Turkey keeps a false narrative on "Islands can't be militarized",which has been debunked a gazillion times,relations won't go forward. If anything,tiny island garissons vs an entire Army which is increasing in size year by year,should prove that Turkey has plans for said islands.

No sane government or cautious country would one-sidedly remove every military presence from its territory when the other side maintains a disproportionate force and the largest landing fleet in the region.

Imagine India telling Pakistan "Remove yer soldars form region of Punjab and Sindh" while the Hindus entrench themselves even more.

The treaty that handed the islands to you demands that they stay demilitarized.

You are bound to those obligations to Italy, unless italy renounces the treaty or removes the conditions, which it hasn't done. You are in violation of the treaty, though Italy has not really looked to enforce the treaty.

If Italy had problems,they'd have told everyone a long time ago. Plus,they themselves can't complain even if they wanted to:

It hasn't ceased to apply, its just unenforced. There is no statute of limitations.

Of course in the real world legalese means nothing.
