Turkish stories for savages about the ‘right to intervene in Kastelorizo’ – Defense

“With the transfer of the Greek soldiers to the islands, Ankara acquires the right to military intervention,” the pro-government “Yeni Safak” affirms today in its extremely provocative cover.

The article is entitled “Turkey has the right to intervene” and in it the Turkish newspaper claims, based on “expert assessments”, that Greece lost its sovereignty by equipping islands with demilitarized status (ss: By this term it means Kastelorizo).

In fact, according to the Turkish analysts cited by Yeni κafak, the illegal deployment of troops on the islands gives Turkey the right to political, legal and military intervention. The newspaper claims that in the same way Greece sent soldiers to Rhodes.

According to KYPE, the international law professor at the University of Marmara, Selami Kuran, told Yeni “afak: “You can take the necessary measures by exercising the legal right of defense provided for in Article 51 of the UN Charter. You can neutralize the military elements one by one in the air, the sea and the land “.

The Navtex “war”

It is recalled that Turkey issued a new NAVTEX for Oruc Reis on the night of Monday 31/8 until 12 September and the response from Greece was immediate, as the hydrographic service station of the Heraklion Navy of Crete issued an anti -NAVTEX.

The anti-NAVTEX emphasizes that the Turkish NAVTEX is invalid, it has been issued by an unauthorized service, and the Turkish activity is illegal as it refers to an area within the Greek continental shelf.

Turkish NAVTEX refers to an area that is adjacent, to the north, to the immediately preceding one, therefore closer to the island complex of Kastellorizo ​​and Rhodes. An important parameter is that with the new announcement, Turkey is expanding its investigations to the limit of the Greek-Egyptian EEZ!

In this way, Ankara not only seems indifferent to the threat of sanctions from Brussels, which was sent after the informal Council of EU Foreign Ministers, but also tries to challenge the recent Athens agreement.

France is on the counterattack

At a time when Turkey continues to pull the strings of provocation, unleashing threats against Greece and France, the latter is taking action.

The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, the flagship of the French navy, accompanied by “invisible” ships and submarines, sails towards the Eastern Mediterranean. According to the French press, the aircraft carrier left Toulon. The carrier’s mission has yet to be determined, while the number of ships accompanying it has not been released.
