Τurkey seeks to implement an expansionist policy in the East Med region, Anastasiades says
President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades said that Turkey is seeking to vigorously implement an expansionist policy in the broader Eastern Mediterranean region – a development which he said represents a major threat.
In an interview at the Greek newspaper “Ta Nea”, President Anastasiades stresses that the memorandum of understanding that Turkey signed with the Tripoli-based government in Libya for the delimitation of maritime areas in the Mediterranean, contests the Law of the Sea as a whole and seeks to impose, as per blackmail, its own arbitrary and illegal interpretation of international law.
“I would like to reiterate that the Republic of Cyprus has repeatedly called on Turkey to participate in a dialogue for the delimitation of the maritime boundaries between our countries – a proposal rejected by Turkey.
