Turkey claims Greek waters off Rhodes

Turkey has set its sights on Greece’s sovereign waters off the west coast of the major island of Rhodes, sending a letter to the United Nations claiming part of the Aegean sea there, the National Herald said on Thursday.

A communication of Turkey’s permanent representative presented Ankara’s idea of a ‘Blue Homeland’ according to which Ankara has the right to have maritime zones and a continental shelf west of the 28th meridian (located south of Rhodes,) ignoring the Dodecanese island chain in the southeast Aegean and Crete. That essentially means that Turkey wants to delimit its maritime zones with Libya.

The letter of Feridun SinirlioÄŸlu disputes the status of the Greek islands on the one hand, while on the other ignores the rights of Cyprus, an EU member country, the National Herald said.

For the record,  I think Ahval news is Turkish but not necessarily "Turkey-Erdogan friendly", so, from some other place? Independent.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Scary. Is it me or does it seem like the world is going to heck in a handbasket? @Hoodat at least your avatar has me laughing. Thanks.

Turks trying to recreate the Ottoman Empire, not good, since the Ottoman Empire was an evil destructive empire. Time to kick Turkey out of NATO.

If so, all they'll do is re-create failure as the the Ottomans were Mid-East
punching bags throughout the Great War w/the solitary exception of Gallipoli.
