Greece Plans Extension of Territorial Waters Despite Turkish Warning
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Greece announced plans to extend its territorial waters further, potentially in the Aegean Sea, despite Turkey’s longstanding threat of war if Athens takes such steps. Currently, Greece’s sovereignty in the Aegean extends to six nautical miles, but it has already expanded its waters to 12 nautical miles in the Ionian Sea following agreements with Italy and Egypt. The two NATO allies remain at odds over continental shelf boundaries in the Aegean, an area believed to have significant energy resources. Greece has proposed maritime delimitations as the only discussion topic with Turkey regarding their maritime zones, while Turkey has historically declared a "casus belli" if Greece extends waters beyond six nautical miles in the Aegean.

Photo: REUTERS/Stelios Misinas Greece plans to extend its territorial waters further, including potentially in the Aegean Sea, Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said on Friday, despite Turkey’s long-standing threat of war should Athens take such a step. The NATO allies, but historic rivals, have eased tensions in recent years but remain at odds over where their continental shelves begin and end in the Aegean – an area believed to hold significant energy potential and with implications for overflights and airspace. Greece has already extended its territorial waters in the Ionian Sea to 12 nautical miles from six, following agreements with Italy, and it has signed a maritime delimitation deal with Egypt in the eastern Mediterranean. But it has avoided similar moves in the Aegean, where Ankara objected sharply. In 1995, the Turkish parliament declared a “casus belli,” or cause for war, if Greece unilaterally extended its waters beyond six nautical miles in the Aegean, a position Athens says violates international maritime law.
