Greece hits back at Turkish claims in Aegean Sea

ATHENS, 10 June 2022, (TON): Greece published a series of historical maps looking to refute Turkish accusations that Athens is violating peace treaties that followed World War I and World War II.

Turkish authorities say the Greeks have stationed troops on Aegean islands in violation of the peace treaties that followed the two 20th century conflicts.

Athens counters that the troops are stationed in response to the presence of Turkish military units, aircraft and landing craft on the opposite coast, in addition to Turkey’s invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

The Greek foreign ministry published maps going back to 1923 which it said depict in a vivid and irrefutable way the Turkish illegal unilateral actions and claims.

It said “the maps document the extent of Turkish revisionism in order to upend the status quo, violating international law and threatening peace, security and stability in our region.”
