A plan to cancel the Lausanne and Paris Treaties is emerging
Turkey has officially announced procedures for challenging the sovereignty of the Greek islands in the Eastern Aegean , with the apparent ultimate goal of " redistributing " the sovereignty of the islands between Greece and Turkey.
This development will lead to dramatic changes to the detriment of Greek sovereign rights and interests in the EEZ, at 10 n.m. of the national airspace, the Athens FIR, the flight plans, the search and rescue area, etc.
Just a few days before the resumption of exploratory talks between Athens and Ankara, the Turkish Foreign Minister in an interview sent an ultimatum to the Greek government to stop the militarization of the islands here and now, otherwise Ankara will raise the issue of international sovereignty.
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias himself is a political and legal helper of Turkey in challenging the Greek sovereignty of the islands, due to their illegal militarization and violation of the Lausanne and Paris Treaties, as Ankara claims, with his careless statements to that Greece is militarizing the islands due to a Turkish threat.
These statements were the initial kick for Turkey to report Greece to the UN with two letters in violation of the Lausanne and Paris Treaties and now to state directly that " the dispute over the islands will begin ", because " Greece essentially accepts (the militarization) »…
The Turkish Foreign Minister slyly introduces the version that the islands of the Eastern Aegean were "attributed" to Greece " on the condition of demilitarization " (s.s. which is not mentioned in any article or point of the Treaties), to justify the questioning of the Greek to begin the process of redefining their sovereignty (some will belong to Greece and others to Turkey), which is the ultimate goal of Ankara for a long time.
In order to serve this Turkish goal, Turkey has politically, legally and diplomatically raised the issue of Greek violation of the Lausanne and Paris Treaties with the UN, paving the way for the "dismantling" of these Treaties. Unfortunately, International Law, with the Vienna Convention on the Compliance with the Treaties , gives Ankara the right (Article 60), after finding a violation of the Lausanne Treaty by one of the parties (ie Greece), to request the abolition in part or throughout the Treaty. The same article gives Turkey the opportunity to declare a violation of demilitarization by Greece of the Paris Treaty, even if Turkey is not a direct party.
In questioning the sovereignty of the Greek islands with the tool of their claim of militarization, Turkey relies on NATO , which since the 1980s with two orders of the yen. secretaries and an order from SACEUR, implements the Turkish position on militarization and prohibits the approach of NATO aircraft closer than 6 nm. from the Greek islands of the Eastern Aegean - a situation that no Greek government has ever dared to reverse.
This situation allows Turkey to blame Greece for its exercises on "demilitarized Greek islands" and the Turkish Ministry of Defense to count 229 Greek violations on demilitarized islands. Ankara's obvious goal, beyond questioning Greek sovereignty, is to make it defenseless of national protection and security .
Ankara reiterates its determination to defend its EEZ from east of Rhodes to the Turkish-Libyan pact and Cyprus, insisting that it has submitted its coordinates to the UN and nothing can happen or happen in this region without its consent and permission. of.
No movement
On the other hand, the Greek government has neither submitted the coordinates of the Greek EEZ in the region, nor has it officially terminated the current Turkish-Libyan EEZ to the UN, nor has it even registered the coordinates of the Greek-Egyptian EEZ with the UN.
