The bill that could reignite tensions between Greece and Turkey

A reported plan by Turkey to include its maritime claims in the Aegean Sea in a draft law would create tension with Greece but would have no legal effect, Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said on Monday.

Responding to an opposition question in Parliament, Gerapetritis said that “a unilateral act cannot in any way constitute a binding text within the framework of international law.”

“International law provides that, for the definition of an Exclusive Economic Zone, there must be an agreement between countries with adjacent or opposite coasts,” he added. “Therefore, no domestic legislator can act in a binding manner on such matters.”

Turkish media have reported that the ruling AKP party's draft law will "legally secure Turkey's rights and interests in the Black Sea, Mediterranean and Aegean." Reports say the draft is expected to be presented after the end of a religious holiday on May 31, writes Ekathimerini.

Gerapetritis said that such a unilateral action by Ankara, “apart from the fact that it has no legal effect and is not binding, is clearly unnecessary and creates tension.”

He added that Athens will not accept any Turkish attempt to create a "fait accompli", i.e. a fait accompli.

"We will never allow anything that could undermine our country's international standing," he said.
