“It is not possible to pursue projects planned by Greece, the Republic of Cyprus and third parties in the context of maximalist aspirations,” the Turkish Ministry of Defense said.
The reaction of the Turkish Ministry of Defense was reportedly prompted by the Navtex issue by Greece to place cables east of Kassos and Karpathos.
Sources from the Turkish Ministry, commenting on information, said that “Turkey has the largest coastline in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is not possible to pursue works in the Eastern Mediterranean, planned by Greece, the Republic of Cyprus and third parties, in the context of maximalist aspirations, without taking into account Turkey’s presence in the region and designed to pass through the areas of our maritime jurisdiction without our consent.
The same sources noted that Turkey has not changed its attitude towards those who “do not respect our rights and interests”. They added that “we will continue to do what we did before. It makes no sense to insist on this issue. In addition, we take all the necessary measures to ensure the security of the Turkish Cypriots and to protect their rights and interests against all kinds of initiatives that ignore the Turkish presence on the island and aim at disturbing the fine balances. Turkey will not hesitate to use its power as a guarantor country against the activities of the “Greek Cypriot Diocese of Southern Cyprus” that threaten the security of Turkish Cypriots and the environment of peace and stability on the island. “
