Turkiye's biggest chance is to have a Greek foreign policy that lacks such strategic vision and uses everything as a propaganda tool. The steps we are about to take are carefully crafted by Greek strategic incompetence. Compared to past periods, we are really grateful for that.
Let's take a closer look at the situation for Egypt and later possible conclusions:
With the current goverment (General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi period), 14860 square kilometers have been ceded to the Greek Cypriot administration of Southern Cyprus. 6500 square kilometers were left for Greece.
With the emergence of the coordinates, it was seen that Egypt's maritime border did not touch the Türkiye-Libya line. However, Egypt occupied Libya's sea area of 6,854 square kilometers by taking the lateral border line,which should be in the northeast direction, to the north.
The decision, which was greeted with shouts of victory in Greece; After the map was revealed, it was replaced by great disappointment and anxiety.
Retired Greek Admiral Stelios Fenekos also admitted that they had made a mistake in a self-criticism he wrote for the famous military magazine Militaire. Fenekos said: “It was probably too hasty to conclude that Egypt 'broke the Türkiye-Libya agreement'. All the eulogies to Egypt were actually made without seeing the coordinates and map in the decree. Unfortunately, our press also fueled this judgment. However, Egypt's maritime border has nothing to do with the Türkiye-Libya agreement."
The fact that frightened the Greek side the most was written by the famous Greek journalist Nikos Meletis. Reminding that Egypt declared the EEZ delimitation “unilateral”, Meletis argued that this is in violation of the 1982 UNCLOS, which was also signed by Cairo.
-A big LMFAO-
Meletis stated that according to Article 74 of the Convention, the limitations of the EEZ should be made by mutual agreement, and noted that in this case, Türkiye could also declare an EEZ unilaterally.
Contrary to Meletis's claim, Turkish experts have long stated that there is no obstacle to declaring a “unilateral” EEZ in the 1982 Convention, so Türkiye should quickly declare an EEZ in the Eastern Med. As a matter of fact, many states that signed UNCLOS had unilaterally declared EEZ. Egypt's latest practice also includes a paradigm that can set an example for Türkiye. Nikos Dendias confirmed this by congratulating the Egyptian MFA. They cannot object.
