The maps start from the status quo that was enshrined in the Treaties of Lausanne (1923) and Paris (1947).
With 16 maps, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs depicts, in a vivid and unequivocal way, the Turkish illegal, unilateral actions and accusations, in the effort of deeper understanding by the general public of the Turkish revisionism.
The maps start from the status quo that was enshrined in the Treaties of Lausanne (1923) and Paris (1947).
The following are the Turkish claims, which began with the illegal licensing of the Turkish state oil company (TRAO) for the exploration of oil fields in areas of the Greek continental shelf in the North Aegean in 1973, including the attempted robbery by Greece and the responsibility for half of the Aegean in the 80s, the theory of the “gray zones” in the 90s, the escalation with new licenses in the Eastern Mediterranean, the acceptance as an official doctrine of the “Blue Homeland”, the “Turkish-Libyan memorandum” and they arrive to the Turkish theory on the demilitarization regime of the Aegean islands.
The maps – the Foreign Ministry notes – document the extent of Turkish revisionism aimed at overturning the status quo, violating international law and international law of the sea, threatening peace, security and stability in our region.
