lol go cry to AI...

PREAMBLE TO THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA

1. An island is a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide.

2. Except as provided for in paragraph 3, the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf of an island are determined in accordance with the provisions of this Convention applicable to other land territory.

3. Rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone or continental shelf.

Stop smoking that sisha.

How many inhabited islands does Greece have in the Aegean? Dozens. Overall Greece has around 200-227 inhabited islands big and small.

East Aegean,Dodecanese,Cyclades,Crete. All these generate EEZ as they are inhabited. Even the Megisti complex(Kastelorizo,Ro and Strongyli)which scares you so much...


The group of islands that includes Kastellorizo, Ro and Strongyli is very important to the Exclusive economic zone of Greece, since it is the easternmost territory of Greece and according to UNCLOS as well as customary international law, Greece can claim a large part of the Eastern Mediterranean basin.

You frame it like there is equal blame. Greeks supported the armenian occupation of Azerbaijan. The Greeks supported the illegal annexation and ethnic cleansing of Muslim Turks in Cyprus. They have also supported and harboured PKK terrorists, including providing passports to Ocalan. The Greeks just recently allied with Isreal and basically shat on the entire brown skinned Muslim world. These are just recent events.

Now after Syria was liberated they are making bold demands about extending their waters in the sea of islands.

thats a porsian masked as Pakistan.

The what annexation? In Cyprus?

They have also supported and harboured PKK terrorists, including providing passports to Ocalan.

Ocalan had a gazillion passports,man...Syrian,Russia,Greek,probably Turkish as well.

Now after Syria was liberated they are making bold demands about extending their waters in the sea of islands.

I'll try to say this in a calm manner:

In which language do you want it spelled,so you can clearly understand it once and for all that THESE NEWS HAVE NO FUCKING VALIDITY? I've been posting all EFFING DAY yesterday, explaining a gazillion times to hyperman that IT IS NOT ACTUAL NEWS.

It's clickbait. It's fakew news. It's exaggeration by foreign media. Dendias said "Greece has the right to expand to 12 miles",only that. And you Turks here have been running around saying "Greece will expand to 12 miles!".

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH my good man? Ingilize konusuyorsun?

Do you understand your post is invalid,because Greece does have a lot of inhabited islands with economic life of their own?

Do you understand that? Can you put that in your head?

Look:



INHABITED ISLANDS WHICH SUSTAIN ECONOMIC LIFE



Look,islands! INHABITED ISLANDS!





LOOK more islands!


And what does UNCLOS say which you just posted about?

Islands can have EEZ.

There you have it.

If you cut the supply water and food they will not survive. Island with 50 to 150 people can not survive without help. To this is not island country like Japan....



3. Rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone or continental shelf.

 

[hyperman]

Ok, enough on the EEZ stuff. I think I'm going to maybe create a Turkey greek relations thread, and then all the discussions on EEZ and other disputes can be there instead of every thread turning into the same thing.

The sleeping giant has awoken


President ERDOGAN
Türkiye will become one of the central poles in the newly reshaped world order.


“The world is slowly moving towards what we've been saying. The validity of our criticisms of global politics, which we have been making for years, is becoming apparent today,” he said.

ERDOGAN said that Türkiye's path and destiny are bright, and new doors will open, new opportunities will arise and possibilities beyond expectations will emerge.

“We are on a brand new journey where our epics will be recited from memory, our achievements will be talked about by friend and foe alike and ultimately, a great and powerful Türkiye will emerge,”

TRT World - Türkiye will emerge as a central power in 'reshaped global order': President Erdogan

‘As in Syria, we are entering new era in which we will reap the rewards of our sacrifices and efforts, and of having stood on right side of history and conscience,’ says Erdogan.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

We are not talking about an Ottoman Empire, because the Ottoman Empire was about being an empire.

Today, we are talking about nation-states coming together to form their own platforms and take ownership of their own problems — whether economic, political, security, or terrorism-related.

If we continue to wait for a hegemon to solve our problems, most of the time they will not be solved in the way we would like.

Turkey and Pakistan have something in common from the geo-strategic POVs. They excel during the geo-political chaos for they perpetually live in chaos: be it politics, economy, finances, terrorism, clashes with the neighbors etc. And, they're perennially at the receiving end of all sorts of conspiracies, backstabbing, treachery etc. by almost all great powers who want to push them down all the time. But, for the other folks a slight chaos means the sky is falling down on their comfortable heads, which can't presume anything beyond highly advantageous status-quo....

President Trump has generated a global chaos to "fish in the muddy and murky water". What has only been earmarked and nominal for the Muslim countries he has extended it to the rest of the world (read the West). SubhanAllah! It may be a news for others; however, it's just another "day's work" for Pakistan and Turkey. While others are crying they're laughing. Life and death are like their servants at their feet....

I said it from the beginning,I won't be surprised if Turks and Jews restore relations by making some kind of deal under the table. Considering how Turks fold so easily and Jews are experts in machinations,it won't be surprising. However,Israel must surely be looking at the future too and must be trying to find ways to curb Turkey's rise.

If you think about it though,Greece and Turkey also have such mechanisms to avoid escalation when something happens.
