@jhungary You read this tooThe text of this agreement was accepted and signed by the Greek state. Signature is the honor of a state.
Ignoring and eroding this undeniable legal basis is the only factor that threatens regional peace.
With regard to Turkish claims on the demilitarization of the Dodecanese islands, it should be noted that:
• Turkey is not a signatory state to this Treaty, which therefore constitutes a "res inter alios acta" for Turkey; i.e., an issue pertaining to others. According to Article 34 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, a treaty does not create obligations or rights for third countries.
• The demilitarized status of the Dodecanese islands was imposed after the decisive intervention of the Soviet Union and echoes Moscow’s political intentions at that point in time. It should, however, be noted that demilitarized status lost its raison d’être with the creation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, as incompatible with countries’ participation in military alliances. Against this backdrop, demilitarized status ceased to apply to the Italian islands of Pantelaria, Lampedusa, Lampione and Linosa, as well as to West Germany on the one hand and Bulgaria, Romania, East Germany, Hungary and Finland on the other.
And to quote kathimerini:
After all, Turkey has for 57 years consistently and firmly consented – a fact which underscores its commitment – to the unquestionable sovereignty of the islands, since 1964 when it first made an issue of an alleged violation of the demilitarization obligation, thereby indicating in practice that sovereignty is not challenged.
And your nutcase politicians should learn not to provoke with such nonsense:Charlatan greek generals can dream of bombing the Istanbul Bridges in their wet dreams. They can even disrupt the peace if they wish, if they can afford the consequences.
Not to mention your officers,talking on TV shows about "Greece occupying our islands". Hadi,budala askeri.
Look who's talking about revisionism and "aggressive side"!However, we never accept the claim that Turkiye is the revisionist and aggressive side, and we will not be a part of the dirty propaganda carried out over it.
The country that made Mavi Vatan an official State policy!
Then you have THE NERVE to talk about "dirty propaganda!"
