By posting the embassy of U.S in Ankara, claims that the “Map of Seville”, which records the
connection of the Greek and Cypriot EEZ, has no legal significance. According to the statement, the US embassy in Ankara, the country does not take a position on issues of disputes over the maritime borders of other states. It highlights that it understands that the European Union does not consider the Seville Charter a legally binding document either. Finally, call Greece and Turkey launch exploratory contacts as soon as possible, since the United States, as the embassy in Ankara points out, supports dialogue and negotiation.

Greece-Cyprus-Aoz

The call “Map of Seville”, representing the delimitation of the continental shelf of Greece and Cyprus, based on
provisions of the Law of the Sea. This is a study carried out in the 2000s by the University of Seville, following a mandate from the European Commission, on the application of international maritime law in the southeast of the Mediterranean.
and the definition of A.OZ. in accordance with international law. Given that according to the UNCLOS Convention the islands have a coastal zone and the EEZ, the study maps of the University of Seville delimit the right of the EEZ to Kastelorizo, allowing the connection of Greeks and Cypriot EEZ in the Eastern Mediterranean, causing a “headache” in Ankara’s provocative geopolitical plans.

The statement from the US embassy in Ankara was reproduced by many Turkish media (“Hurriyet”, “Yeni Safak”, etc.) in dithyrambic tones.
