Gerapetritis Draws Red Lines with Turkey: The Hague Only for EEZ, 12 Miles Are Athens’ Decision
Athens says the conditions do not yet exist for a special agreement with Turkey as long as Ankara seeks to bring sovereignty issues into the discussion. Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis reasserts Greece’s unilateral right to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, places the Greece–Cyprus electricity link within a European and international legal framework, and rejects claims that dialogue with Turkey amounts to retreat.
