“While they designed the ceilings, we have been limited by our rights arising from the law of the sea,” he says, admiral in retirement
Turkey’s recession in the Aegean is accused by Turkish analysts the Turkish leadership on the occasion of Greece’s maritime spatial planning.
As Jihad Yaiji, admiral in the retirement, typically said, “Mitsotakis made a move and said the Aegean was his own, while at the same time Turkey limited its rights.”
“See what Mitsotakis says, these are the ceilings. Mitsotakis did that. In 2023 there was the map of Seville where Cyprus designed the maritime spatial planning and defined the border, “Yaji said.
The Turkish Admiral in retirement added: “In 2025 they did this and applied the map of Seville and left us with such a small space. They show the Aegean as if they are theirs, all waters, reach our shores, all these areas. That is, Ayvalık, Smyrna, Kusadasi. Where the water rests, they arrived here. According to Mitsotakis’ statement, they said that this is their continental shelf. Thus in these areas they made a marine spatial planning. While we have limited ourselves and while we have any coasts with Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, with Syria. While they designed the ceilings, we were limited by our rights arising from the law of the sea. “
