The Turkish Foreign Ministry has responded to Greece's comments on the new Turkish map expanding their Search and Rescue (SaR) area in the East Med which goes against international law, cuts through 50+ Greek islands, Cyprus, and illegally overrides Greece's ENTIRE legal SaR zone saying that "Turkey is the only country with operational capabilities to intervene in any incident in the region that could endanger human life,"

His statement in detail:

The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs made an unfounded statement today (October 18) regarding the extension of our country's area of ​​responsibility for search and rescue in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean. Search and rescue areas are not domination, but service areas.

From this point of view, this claim of Greece, which does not include its territorial waters and considers this area for the rescue and protection of human life as a violation of its sovereignty, is far from legal and humanitarian reasons. The arbitrariness mentioned refers to the updating of the search and rescue areas in the current conditions, where our country provides these services. Our country's search and rescue area has been expanded to ensure the safety of our businesses on our continental shelf in the eastern Mediterranean. Turkey, with successful maritime search and rescue activities, in contrast to Greece, which operates with political motives, acts with humanitarian motives.

On the other hand, Greece continues to leave unanswered requests for cooperation and coordination with our country in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention of Maritime Search and Rescue of Hamburg of 1979 on the overlapping areas of responsibility for search and rescue of the two coastal countries in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean. Moreover, claiming that these areas are a region of domination, Greece did not hesitate to leave the safety of human life in the second place and showed this attitude by the inhuman treatment of illegal immigrants in the Aegean Sea.

The only country with operational capabilities to intervene in any incident that may endanger human life in the region is Turkey. In this context, the expansion of the search and rescue area of ​​our country is an important step taken to make the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean safer areas, as it is one of the areas with the highest sea and air traffic in the world.

Immigrant in London vandalized a church in broad daylight, removing a cross from its roof in front of a busy street and in plain view of all locals.

This exposes the sheer passivity of Europeans, Churches, Monuments, Stores and even themselves get disrespected in plain view by these immigrants and nobody has the nerve to stand up for themselves or what is theirs. The immigrants feel emboldened because they know that they will most likely not be sent to jail even if the police catches them and if they do, they wont spend much time there. The locals also never raise a finger or even their voice, so they know that no harm will come to them, they feel capable and strong, they feel like everyone around them is weak and that they can do whatever they want anywhere

is this what Europe has become? is this how Europeans are now?

Regarding the Eastern Mediterranean, he said that " our studies there continue. We have already done 8 studies. We first x-rayed the area and will continue with drilling. We carry out seismic surveys in areas where we observe gas flow. We did such research in the area of Kas. We will evaluate the findings and if we see a prospect, we will send a drill to start drilling. "According to geologists, seismic studies give us hope."

And he continued, referring to the studies around Cyprus: "We continue seismic studies in the "Turkish Republic of Cyprus". We are open to all kinds of dialogue, but we did not see any positive approach from the Greek side. This is actually a great opportunity for all the people of the area. I hope they will be open to dialogue in the near future. I remind you once again that what we said from the beginning, "we do not see in any foreign property, but no one should do the same to us". Our distance from Kastelorizo is 2 km, Greece is 580 km away. When we say that in meetings with Europeans, they agree, but unfortunately they do not do the same in front of the television cameras. We are currently announcing NAVTEX in our own areas, without entering the territorial waters of the islands. "There has been no problem so far."
