The statements made by Turkish officials on the demilitarization of the Aegean islands have been repeatedly rejected in their entirety on the basis of a series of arguments, which are also contained in the relevant letters that Greece has sent to the UN Secretary-General.
The questioning of the sovereignty of the Greek islands and the increase of tension in the Aegean through threats of war have been condemned in their entirety by the International Community.
Greece, in accordance with International Law and the Law of the Sea, once again rejects the Turkish unilateral claims in their entirety and describes the repeated threats of war as totally unacceptable.
