Athens furious at 'Neo Ottoman conquerors' Turkey's "blatant flouting of the international legal order"

Athens furious at 'Neo Ottoman conquerors' Turkey's "blatant flouting of the international legal order" (Famagusta).

The Greek Foreign Ministry has issues a strongly worded statement regarding Turkish activities in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Republic of Cyprus.

In the statement, Athens says that it will never accept the legitimization of the fait accompli in Cyprus, "to which we now see being added, in a provocative manner, the flagrant violation by the Turkish side of the International Law of the Sea in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Republic of Cyprus, which is a sovereign state and a member of the UN and the European Union,"

It adds: "The unilateral declaration of the illegal secessionist entity of the pseudo-state in the occupied section of the Republic of Cyprus and the insistence for 31 years now on the fabrication that is the `TRNC` is a blatant flouting of the international legal order and the resolutions of the United Nations.”

BRUSSELS CONDEMNATION

Last week the European Parliament adopted a resolution strongly condemning Turkey’s "illegal and provocative actions" in Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

Turkey’s EU Minister Volkan Bozkır said on Nov. 13 that Ankara will “not accept” the European Parliament’s decision on the resolution.

“It has no validity for us,” said EU Minister Volkan Bozkır, in reference to the draft resolution, during a meeting with Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade in Ankara.

“Although Turkey is respectful of the European Parliament’s decision, this draft resolution is likely to end up like many other resolutions,” he added, implying that it will have little or no consequences. Hmmm....As long as Obama 'protects' the new ME dictator things will only get worse.
