Greece to extend territorial waters amid Turkey tensions
Greece is preparing to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles (22.2km) from its western shores. It is an apparent show of strength as it prepares to resume talks with Turkey on agreeing to the limits of their continental shelves.
As Al Jazeera's John Psaropoulos reports from Athens, the two issues are closely related.

the right to expand your territorial waters to 12 miles is part of the Law of the Seas that voted by the UN Assembly. All the coastal countries already expanded their waters in the previous years, even Turkey expanded its waters despite the fact that she didn't sign this UN agreement.
Greece will expands its territorial waters all over the Aegean Sea except a part of it in order to let an international sea-corridor for the ships that use the route Bosporous Straits-Mediterranean. Turkey's objection is that the Turkish ships from Istanbul will need Greek permission to sail to the Mediterranean. So, Greece will mot expand its territorial waters to the entire Aegean sea creating this sea-corridor for the Turkish, Russian, Bulgarian, Romania etc ships that use the route Black Sea-Meditteranean. Everyone should be happy now.
Go ahead Turkey
If TR allows this I'll give up my TR nationality! This is a call for war.
Turkey produces two amazing things, cag kebap and their women are beautiful (not so much their personalities though)
Go Greece
Build the Turks re-education centers like me is better for them.
The truth and you don’t want to hear is that Turkey has no guts to push this. If they were powerful they would have done this long time ago, tha5 is try to conquer a nation like Greece. They can’t even win in Syria for f&$# sakes. Same with Mohammed , it’s all bullshit.
La ilaha illallah
thought Istanbul was originally belongs to Greece and use to be called constabul and Turkish then changed the name after forcefully conquering the Greece sovereignty
to Istanbul.
this will cause war and they will cry about muh ottomanist turkey wants to expand meanwhile they do everything to provoke turkey.
India stands with Greece 🇬🇷
Our ancient brothers
Just look at the map, how Aegean sea shared among Turkey and Greece you will understand who deserves more.

Greece will be destroyed by Turkey if they don't give Turkish the respect they derseve. Africa support Turkey our brothers.

I love how europeans have the right to make laws to expand, then self accept them and enforce it on others. When others dont accept it, its violence of law and threats against world peace.
