‘The invocation of international law requires This is to be adopted in full. “ Clear.

“Practices such as not signing the United Nations Convention on Sea Law, which has been adopted by 168 countries, the overthrow of the centuries -old regime in world heritage monuments, the threat of war in the event of a right of rights arising out of international law They do not allow suggestions. ”

“Greece will continue to serve international law and good neighborly relations. But that should be true for everyone. “ It is still emphasized.

“Turkey will never allow its legal rights to be violated”

The conclusions of the summit of the leaders of the European Union (EU) held on June 26, 2025 show that Greece and “Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus»Continue their efforts to impose on the EU their “maximalist claims” which are opposed to international law and the principle of equality, the spokesman for Turkish Foreign Ontzu Ketseli claimed in X.

“The Memorandum of Understanding concluded between Turkey and Libya in 2019 on the delimitation of maritime jurisdiction in the Mediterranean is an agreement that is fully in line with international law and demonstrates that Turkey will never allow its legal rights to be violated.“

EU politically motivated biased statements on a sensitive issue with legal and technical dimensions, such as maritime demarcation, do not serve regional peace and stability.

“In this respect, the EU should invite all its members to comply with international law instead of adopting claims who do not have legal force » The Turkish official supports.

Turkey will continue to defend its legal rights and interests in the Eastern Mediterranean in the context of international law decisively, Ketseli concludes.
