“A fundamental principle of international law is that two states cannot make agreements at the expense of third parties,” said a Foreign Ministry spokesman.
The German Foreign Ministry does not recognize it Turkey-Libya agreement for the delineation of the EEZ between them. And such agreements do not bind Greece, said a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to a question from ERT.
“I will get back to you for a specific answer on this issue,” said the ministry’s spokesman, Burger. “On principle I want to say that a fundamental principle of international law is that two states cannot make agreements to the detriment of third parties. We also know this from civil law. No two can agree, this belongs to me, this to you, this to someone else. In the event that two states conclude an agreement to the detriment of Greece, Greece is not bound by it. The agreement has no legal effect. This is a basic principle of international law, that it is not possible for two states to conclude such an agreement at the expense of a third state.
For a detailed assessment of this recent step I will have to come back.”
