‼️The Turkish government likes talking about "Rights" when referring to the East Med, where they say that they have the right to explore it and own it, the problem is that they dont recognize UNCLOS and claim that they should own half of the East med, including some Greek islands and even the waters around Greek islands since they dont recognize that Islands should have Exclusive Economic Zones (Zones where only the islanders or that country can explore through fishing, drilling or anything else).

‼️This means that Turkey wont back down from its illegal seismic surveys and drilling operation inside Greek and Cypriot EEZ waters, not even with the EU trying to intervene
