The Turks remembered the “gray zones” in the Aegean, bringing the rhetoric back to the surface about “Blue Homeland”. It was calculated that “153 islands, islets and rocky islets do not belong to Greece” as broadcast by Manolis Kostidis.

There are many reports in the Turkish media about the “gray zones” in the Aegean, and on the occasion of Greek publications, they are “circulating” the island of Zourafa or Ladoxera.

“The news about Zurafa Island reminded us of the issue as well as with the Treaty of Lausanne as well as the Treaty of Paris of 1947, the sovereignty of many islands, islets and islets it has not been transferred to Greece. We are talking about areas that should to be under Turkish rule as it is an Ottoman legacy. We are talking about the lands of our homeland in the Aegean and the Upper Mediterranean. If we talk about Blue Homeland, there is also Blue Homeland. Where did we get to? Greece landed on 25 of the 153 islands of disputed sovereignty. He violated treaties, invaded, raised a flag, built outposts and militarized them” was reported on the HALK TV newscast.

“Zourafa islet is located at a distance of 6.4 miles from Samothraki which belongs to Greece. and at a distance of 14.2 miles from the Turkish coast. It has a size of 9 sq.m. This is where Samothraki, Imbros and Alexandroupoli are located, and let’s remember that the American bases are also located there” but it was also highlighted in the TGRT HABER news bulletin.

“The Greeks talk about “grey zones”, our navy talks about islands, islets and islets whose sovereignty has not been transferred by treaty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to them as “geographic planning”. They like to create jargon. But here we are talking about 153 islands, islets and islets whose sovereignty has not been transferred to Greece by treaty” claimed retired Vice Admiral Jem Giurdenis.
