“Erdogan’s movements do not produce justice,” government sources told K, commenting on the new unprovoked escalation of Turkey, which has issued maps showing half of the Turkish Aegean. In the Palace of the Maxima, they notice in every tone that they will not fall into the “trap” methodically placed by the Turkish president, since it is clear that he seeks to lead Athens to achievements that can take two different forms: or something “happens. ” in her. field “, that is to say, a burning episode due to the overcrowding of warships in the area, or to start a dialogue that will include aspects that are not discussed by the Greek side.” One, in fact, may be a function of the other ” , they add the same sources.
Maximou bases all his movements on two axes on this balance of terror, as was also seen with yesterday’s barrage of diplomatic counterattacks. The first axis says “calm down and we are not following Turkey in their game”. The second has to do with international contacts, thus further consolidating the already established vision that Turkey is moving outside of any international law. This was the purpose of the quadruple mobility yesterday, with the transfer to Ankara and the barrage of contacts with the UN, the United States and the European Union.
The stigma of all the above was given yesterday by Stelios Petsas. Ankara, with a new move that adds to the successive challenges of the last period, proceeded unilaterally and arbitrarily to redefine the limits of the search and rescue area of responsibility that is under its jurisdiction. “This decision is clearly illegal, as it covers areas that belong not only to Greek jurisdiction, but also to Greek sovereignty,” the government spokesman said, adding that the Ankara escalation violates “international law and has no effect. legal “.
What Ankara claims is contrary to what was established since the 1950s and declared since 1975 to the corresponding International Maritime Organization (IMO) and coincides with the flight control area undertaken by Greece, namely the Athens FIR.
Tripartite
It is also emphasized that Greece, through the competent Joint Search and Rescue Coordination Center in Piraeus, effectively coordinates all search and rescue operations in its area of responsibility, providing services to all ships and aircraft that may be in distress. . The barrage of diplomatic movements will continue tomorrow with Mitsotakis’ visit to Nicosia, for the tripartite meeting with Nikos Anastasiadis and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
And yesterday the Armed Forces (EDF) remained on alert, despite the fact that the “Oruts Reyes”, advancing towards the southwest, reached the westernmost end of the occupied zone from Ankara, up to 80 nm. of Kastellorizo. This morning, if it continues moving at the same speed, it will reach a distance of about 12 nm. from Strongyli, one of the three islands of the Kastellorizo complex. The orders received by the ED has been developed to protect declared sovereign rights, that is, the 6 m. of the complex. In the area of possible Greek sovereignty (6 to 12 nautical miles), the Greek forces notify the Turkish research vessel, by radio, that it is within the Greek continental shelf.
