A continuation of the tension in Greek-Turkish relations, created a week ago by the Erdogan government on the occasion of the announcements for the creation of marine parks in the Aegean and the Ionian, by the Greek government, Ankara gave. Sources of the Turkish Ministry of Defense, during the regular weekly briefing of the defense editors, made it clear that the Turkish leadership as a whole raises the issue of questioning the sovereignty of Greece and brings back in the clearest way the rhetoric of gray zones in the Aegean. As they stated: “As a ministry, we are vigilant for the protection of our rights, interests and interests in the Aegean”.
Specifically, the aforementioned sources of the Turkish Ministry of Defense told the Turkish media: “The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on April 8, 2024 that two large marine parks will be declared in the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country has undertaken the necessary diplomatic initiatives regarding the parks that are planned to be announced and has declared that unilateral de facto situations on “islands, islets and rocks whose sovereignty has not been transferred by treaty” (s.s. the Turkish acronym EGAYDAAK is used) will not be accepted and will have no legal consequences. As a ministry, we are vigilant to protect our rights, interests and interests in the Aegean and prevent Greece’s unilateral attempts to create a regime unilaterally.”
The representative of the Turkish Ministry of Defense reminded that on Monday, April 22, the meeting on Confidence Building Measures (CBM) will take place in Athens with the participation of delegations from Greece and Turkey.
