On August 6, the foreign ministers of Greece and Egypt signed an agreement to delimit maritime zones in the Mediterranean. The document has already been ratified by the parliaments of the two countries. According to Athens, the agreement with Egypt guarantees the right of the Greek islands to a maritime platform and makes it an exclusive economic zone. Ankara, for its part, said it did not recognize the document and sent the research vessel Oruc Reis, accompanied by a group of warships, to carry out a seismic study of the Greek marine platform off the island of Kastelorizo. In response, Greece put its armed forces on alert and said it would defend its sovereign rights.
