'Neo Ottoman Conqueror' Turkey: "We won't accept Greece-Egypt-Israeli Mediterranean deal"


'Neo Ottoman Conqueror' Turkey: "We won't accept Greece-Egypt-Israeli Mediterranean deal" (AA).

Any delimitation on the Mediterranean between Egypt and Greece will not be acceptable if it affects Turkey's national interest, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said.

Davutoglu made the remarks in an interview published Sunday in a Greek newspaper, To Vima, which he gave at the end of the third High-Level Cooperation Council meeting between Greece and Turkey in Athens on Dec. 6.

"If Greece signs the agreement with Egypt, we would not accept it if it affects our national interests. This agreement will not exist for us," the premier said.

Ankara believes there can be no demarcation in the Eastern Mediterranean without it.

He also called the trilateral cooperation between Greece-Cyprus-Cairo and Greece-Cyprus-Israel for natural resources "opportunism" that came at a "bad time.”

The Turkish premier said the gas pipeline imagined between Israel and Cyprus through Greece to Europe was unsustainable economically and technically.

He denied the cooperation deals were a threat to Turkey. "We do not feel any threat. No one can threaten us,” he said.

"In the Eastern Mediterranean, all arrangements, especially the boundaries on maritime zones should be made after negotiations with all parties. If two parties or three parties declare an Exclusive Economic Zone without consulting the other parties, who are also interested and have a legitimate interest, then it moves against the international law,” he said. Hmmm....While telling The EU parliament to stick their resolution on Cyprus where the sun doesn't shine.......'Advanced Islamist Dictatorship' logic  the Mediterranean sea is ours. I Guess that meeting today with the new EU representative went great.Read the full story here.
