The “game” of challenges continues in Ankara. Following the new NAVTEX issued on Saturday night and with which he expanded the investigation of the Oruc Reis investigation in the Eastern Mediterranean, today the Turkish Chancellor has made a provocative announcement.
In particular, the Turkish Foreign Ministry underlines his announcement. that Oruc Reis is located on a Turkish continental shelf.
The Greek Foreign Ministry today issued an unfounded statement stating that the seismic research activities carried out by our country on a continental shelf in the eastern Mediterranean were carried out on the Greek continental shelf and described these activities as “illegal. “. says the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs in his announcement.
“Research Oruc Reis is conducting seismic studies entirely on the Turkish continental shelf, which is defined by international law and is registered with the United Nations,” the statement continued.
See the announcement:
Remember that ad about with Turkey’s illegal Navtex was previously issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Greek Foreign Minister “unequivocally condemns this unacceptable behavior”, stressing that “the action opposes any attempt to de-escalate”, while calling on Ankara to immediately withdraw the Navtex issued on Sunday.
The announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs details the following:
“The issuance of a new illegal Navtex by the Turkish side, by which it blocks a maritime zone within the Greek continental shelf south of Rhodes to carry out illegal seismic investigations, demonstrates for the umpteenth time that Turkey, with its provocative and continuous criminal behavior and increasingly, it completely ignores the fundamental rules of International Law.
It behaves like a rogue state that wants to destabilize the region and increase vertical intensity.
This illegal action counteracts any attempt to de-escalate.
At the same time, the repetition of the illegal actions of the Turkish side, which are in total contradiction with the constant calls of the International Community, including the recent Conclusions of the European Council for the immediate termination of these actions, further exposes the part Turkish.
Greece unequivocally condemns this unacceptable behavior, which in essence further alienates the prospect of a constructive dialogue and calls on Turkey to immediately withdraw the illegal Navtex issued in the early hours of the morning.
In this context, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, gave instructions for the immediate realization of a protest action towards the Turkish side, as well as information from the Allies and Partners on Turkey’s continuing provocative behavior. “
