The Minister of Foreign Affairs was in Brussels, Nikos Dendias, to attend the EU Foreign Affairs Council, where the possibility of imposing sanctions on Turkey for its criminal behavior in the eastern Mediterranean was discussed. In fact, three days before the convening of the European Council, the Greek government loads the agenda with issues related to Turkey’s aggressive behavior by pointing out that Ankara raises casus belli against Athens in case the Greek government exercises a legal right during the international law and extends its territorial sea to 12 nautical miles.
Nikos Dendias characteristically highlighted: “Turkey continued its criminal behavior and even in a context that is completely unacceptable: the threat of war against Greece if it extends its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles” and continued: “I note that the UNCLOS, the Convention that provides for the extension of territorial waters to 12 miles, is part of European law. It has been ratified by the European Union itself. “So, Turkey’s attitude is a challenge for the whole Union.
Immediately after the Council meeting, Nikos Dendias said that «Turkey did not understand the positive message of the European Union from the October councilExplaining that ““The EU Council of Heads of State and Government will discuss the reaction to Turkey on 10-11 December.”
The entire position of Nikos Dendias:
“An extensive debate on Turkish crime took place in the Council today and all the Foreign Ministers noted that the Turkey The positive message from the European Union was not understood by the October European Council.
Instead, he continued his criminal behavior. And indeed, in a completely unacceptable context: the threat of war against Greece, if it extends its territorial waters to 12 miles.
I note that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Convention that provides for the extension of territorial waters to 12 miles, is part of European law. It has been ratified by the European Union itself. Therefore, Turkey’s position is a challenge for the Union as a whole.
From there, it became clear that there should be a backlash against Turkey. And that is what will be discussed in the Council of Heads of State and Government this week ”.
It is recalled that last October, the European Council warns Turkey to suspend exploration in eastern Mediterranean waters, claiming that he would face consequences in a different case. Tomorrow Tuesday, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias will travel to Amman, Jordan, to participate in the Tripartite Meeting of the Greek Cypriot and Jordanian Foreign Ministers.
