Turkish Foreign Policy and Regional Geopolitics

Bro,it's INTERNATIONAL LAW.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), also called the Law of the Sea Convention or the Law of the Sea Treaty, is an international treaty that establishes a legal framework for all marine and maritime activities. As of October 2024, 169 sovereign states and the European Union are parties.

There is nothing binding on a treaty that Turkey is not a part of. Its not "international law". Neither Turkey nor the US are parties to the convention Greece cites, nor does it mean anything when Greece undermines its own argument by not following the convention cited in demarcating EEZ with Italy.

International Law when it comes to invading Syria-We don't care

Turkey has the permission of Damascus govt.

As well as a treaty with Syria on the matter.

Adana Agreement - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Also UNSC resolutions to fight Daesh and other terrorist organizations in Syria, and right to self defense regarding threats on its border.

The House of Representatives is the legitimate government. Wake up. Libyan politics are a bit complicated. There was a coup in 2014. There were new elections in 2015. There was agreement and disagreement. I don't know if Greece "recognized" GNA,but I know your EEZ agreement is bollocks at best.

Oh because Erdogan and the Turkish government woke up one day with a hard-on for Libya. Suddenly,the entire nation felt bad for the plight of the Libyan people and selflessly rushed to help :'( Poor Libyans,we must help them. And sign a few agreements with them,you know,illegal EEZ,some oil snatching,investments,bases etc.

UN resolution on Cyprus-We don't care
Treaty of Lausanne-We don't care
Treaties of Montreaux and Paris-We don't care
International Law of the Sea-We don't care
International Law when it comes to invading Syria-We don't care
Geneva convention-We don't care
UN recognize Tripoli-OOOH LOOK IS INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZE GOVARNMANT OF THE LIBYA!

Greece is violating treaty obligations regarding the militarization of Islands. And ignoring ECHR judgements against it.

There were F-16s,there were "advisors",there was a lot more help than just "drone sales"

Sudan invited Turkey? The president actually invited the Turks to help them against the RSF?

The war took place inside Azerbaijan’s internationally recognized borders. Hence, Azerbaijan could have invited even Star Wars Paratroopers and Darth Vader himself and it would been no one else’s business.

Azerbaijan and Turkey are treaty allies, there is a clause about “an attack on the territory of one is an attack on the other”.

That is true. I don't blame Turkey for that,they are best friends,like brothers with Azerbaijan. It makes sense geopolitically and culturally.

How many times do I have to prove you wrong on this? Tell me. Just how many?

Every time,I show you why this claim is wrong and after a while you mention it again. It's like an endless cycle.

I've debunked this Turkish claim again and again,yet you personally and a few other guys here don't seem to remember it.

NOW. Not before. Not earlier. Not during the 2011-2023 period. You can claim "self-defence" but that's what Israel claims as well. Just like the Americans,you went in Syria and never left,even though the Syrian government protested.

It IS international law and the only reason Americans didn't officially sign UNCLOS,is because of their internal political disputes.

Those Islands are not supposed to be militarized.

And Greece has ECHR judgements against it regarding Turks in Greece, whats there to debunk? lol

Turkey will not accept Greece's maximalist claims. Nor will it accept Fiat Accompli, there will either be a compromise on both sides, or the status quo will remain, if Greece decides that they want to pursue a 3rd option that breaks the status quo unilaterally, then Turkey will do what it has to do.

I'm tired of having to remind you all the time. Seriously. It's not even funny anymore.



Get it?

Look who's talking about "maximalist claims"...

Habibi,Treaties of Lausanne and Paris gave control of the islands and thus their EEZ,to Greece. It's unfair to complain about Greece having "maximalist claims" or such nonsense. All that started in the '70s. Until then,Greece and Turkey had no differences concerning the Aegean or Eastern Mediterranean EEZs.

On the contrary,Turkey is the one having maximalist claims,demanding more and more.

Your friend Bahceli said the Dodecanese belong to Turkey. I'm sure you heard of that. He's Erdogan's partner in the parliament after all.

Talking about maximalist claims,one should find it odd,if not worrying,that Turkey has the largest landing fleet in the Mediterranean and frequently holding exercisines practicing the capture of islands,concerning Turkey has virtually no islands except for Imbros and Tenedos. If anything,that's pretty darn suspicious.

You have treaty obligation, just say you don't care about the treaty violations or withdraw from the treaty. Egypt signed a treaty that doesn't let them militarize the Sinai. There are many such treaties. Its still a violation.

Posting long text does not undo the treaty violation. What you need to do is say I don't care about the Treaty Greece signed, but you want to appear "lawful". lol

If Greece feels it does not need to be bound by any treaties, neither does Turkey, It can choose to violate treaties if it wishes as well. The Ball is in Greece's court on whether they will decide to make unilateral moves and try to establish fiat accompli. Then you open the Pandora box, and we see where this goes. lol

The EEZ stuff came out in the 90s genious b/c the convention for the extending of EEZ is a post cold war treaty, one that Turkey never signed or accepted. Turkey is not a party to the treaty.
