Hurriyet: Athens' 'Provocations' in the Aegean over 12 Miles

The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet refers to Athens' 'provocations' in the Aegean Sea, following statements by Defense Minister Nikos Dendias regarding the extension of territorial waters to 12 nautical miles.

According to a report, Hurriyet includes a map of the Aegean from Anadolu Agency, showing the islands that have been definitively granted to Greece by the Treaties of Lausanne (1923) and Paris (1947), which Turkey wants to remain demilitarized.

Nikos Dendias, in a recent interview, described the extension of territorial waters as a 'unilateral and sovereign right' of Greece, stressing that there can be no dialogue with Ankara as long as Turkey maintains the casus belli.

The newspaper Hurriyet also recalls previous statements by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has accused Turkey of war threats regarding the casus belli.
