Turkish FM: Greek energy rules won't change our Aegean stance

The spokesperson for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Onju Çetinali, clarified that the spatial framework announced by Greece for renewable energy sources, which includes the Aegean Sea, will not have any legal implications for Turkey. He emphasized that this framework, like similar previous initiatives, does not affect Turkey's legal stance regarding the Aegean Sea, especially concerning the geographic formations over which sovereignty has not been transferred under international treaties. He also reaffirmed Turkey's right to cooperate with Greece in accordance with the Law of the Sea, calling for the avoidance of unilateral measures in closed or semi-enclosed areas such as the Aegean Sea. Çetinali stressed that Turkey is always ready to collaborate based on international law and fairness to resolve disputes in the region.
