He claimed that “there are islands with a demilitarized status. 23 of these islands are demilitarized 19 of them are militarized. We have islands and islets whose sovereignty and belonging are disputed. They try to show them as theirs by arranging visits to them as if they are theirs the islands. On the one hand they try to present a suitable environment”.
