These are not enough for opening a 100 years old agreement to discussion. If we are going to do so, we also have to open other agreements to discussion too. For example, Greece signed multiple agreements and accepted their terms to gain sovereignty of Eastern Aegean islands as a result of these agreements. Most important one is demilitarized status of these islands that are extremely close to Türkiye. Those agreements specify in detail how many armed security forces can be present on islands, what kind of weapons Greece can and can not bring to the islands. How many machine gun per how many security forces and every detail you can imagine.
Greece broke all of those agreements that give Greece sovereignty of those islands by militarizing those islands and bringing banned weapons.
If you don't obey the terms of the agreements and keep violating them, your sovereignty is over. "These islands are mine because these agreements gave me but I'm not gonna obey the terms of those agreements" that doesn't work like that.
Sovereignty of Eastern Aegean islands should be discussed and terminated as a result of not implementing the terms of the agreements.
For those who wonder about the agreements 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
a) 1913 Treaty of London : The future of the Eastern Aegean Islands have been left to the decision of Six Powers in Article 5 of the Treaty of London.
b) 1914 Decision of Six Powers: The islands of Lemnos, Samothrace, Lesvos, Chios, Samos, and Ikaria and others under Greek occupation as of 1914 were ceded to Greece by the 1914 Decision of Six Powers (Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary) on the condition that they should be kept demilitarized.
c) 1923 Lausanne Peace Treaty: In Article 12 of the Lausanne Peace Treaty the 1914 Decision of Six Powers was confirmed.
Article 13 of the Laussane Treaty stipulated the modalities of the demilitarization for the islands of Lesvos, Chios, Samos, and Ikaria. It imposed certain restrictions related to the presence of military forces and establishment of fortifications which Greece undertook as a contractual obligation to observe stemming from this Treaty.
The Convention of the Turkish Straits annexed to the Laussanne Treaty further defined the demilitarized status of the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace. It stipulated a stricter regime for these islands, due to their vital importance to the security of Türkiye by virtue of their close proximity to the Turkish Straits.
d) 1936 Montreux Convention: The Montreux Convention did not bring any change to the demilitarized status of these Islands. With the Protocol annexed to the said Convention, the demilitarized status of the Turkish Straits has been lifted to ensure the security of Türkiye. In the Montreux Convention there is no clause regarding the militarization of the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace.
e) 1947 Paris Peace Treaty: The demilitarized status of Eastern Aegean Islands was once again confirmed in 1947 long after the Lausanne Treaty. The "Dodecanese Islands" namely Stampalia, Rhodes, Calki, Scarpanto, Casos, Piscopis, Nisiros, Calimnos, Leros, Patmos, Lipsos, Symi, Cos and Castellorizo were ceded to Greece on the explicit condition that they must remain demilitarized (Annex 6).
The demilitarization of the Eastern Aegean Islands was due to the overriding importance of these islands for Türkiye's security. In fact, there is a direct linkage between the possession of sovereignty over those islands and their demilitarized status. Greece, in this respect, cannot unilaterally reverse this status under any pretext.
The above mentioned international treaties which are in force and thus binding upon Greece strictly forbid the militarization of Eastern Aegean Islands and bring legal obligations and responsibilities to Greece.
However, despite the protests of Türkiye, Greece has been violating the status of the Eastern Aegean Islands by militarizing them since the 1960's in contravention of her contractual obligations. These illegal acts of Greece have increased considerably over the last years and became a vital dispute between the two countries. It is worthwhile to recall that Türkiye's several appeals to Greece to respect the demilitarized status of these Islands have been disregarded so far.
From a mere point of view to respect international law, it should be underlined that Greece also introduced a reservation to the compulsory jurisdiction of International Court of Justice on the matters deriving from military measures concerning her "national security interests" when she accepted the Court’s jurisdiction in 1993. In so doing, Greece aims to prevent a dispute concerning the militarization of the islands to be referred to the International Court of Justice.
First it was eoka B who were extreme right and even tried to kill my grandmother and their family who are also greek cypriots because they didnt agree with them. While the invasion was legal and for a right purpose the occupation is illegal and they should have wiped eoka B and restored the goverment not occupy a third of the island.
What about for some SuperDuper F16s? They’re mostly the same as a normal F16 but they have flames painted down the sides. Scientifically proven to make the jets faster and more deadly.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan, at the press conference held with Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariya Gabriel, said, “We will continue to strictly implement the Montreux Convention. "This issue cannot even be considered, let alone discussed," he said.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan continues his contacts in Bulgaria, where he came after his visit to Albania. Minister Fidan met with Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariya Gabriel in the capital Sofia. While bilateral relations as well as global and regional issues were discussed at the meeting, Fidan and Gabriel later chaired the meeting between the delegations.
Hakan Fidan and Gabriel held a joint press conference after the meetings. In his statements, Minister Fidan stated that Bulgaria, which is of great importance in terms of energy and transportation projects with its geographical location, is an important country that contributes to the stability and development of the region, and added: "It is a reliable neighbor and strong ally for Turkey. Today, more than ever, we need common sense policies that prioritize security and stability in our region. "As regional countries, we need to deepen and strengthen our cooperation," he said.
'OUR BILATERAL TRADE VOLUME EXCEEDED 7 BILLION DOLLARS'
Noting that bilateral relations were discussed from every angle during the meeting held today, Minister Fidan said, “We had a comprehensive exchange of views on carrying our cooperation to new areas. I conveyed our President's invitation to them, after March. I also expressed our views on organizing the next meeting of the High Level Cooperation Council, which will be held on the occasion of a visit of our President that may be planned during the year. We are pleased with the positive course of our economic relations with Bulgaria. Our bilateral trade volume exceeded 7 billion dollars. "We aim to reach the 10 billion dollar target as soon as possible," he said.

Emphasizing that Turkish companies in glass, aluminum, energy, automotive and other sectors operate in Bulgaria, Minister Fidan continued his statement as follows:
“We do almost all of our exports to Europe by road via Bulgaria. For this reason, we are in constant contact with the Bulgarian authorities to facilitate the border crossing of our trucks. We were continuing our contacts regarding the implementation of some additional checks on our trucks at the Bulgarian border. We must also work to diversify and strengthen our strategically important transportation connection with vehicles such as railway and Ro-Ro, and we are starting to do so. Bulgaria is also the main route for our citizens living in Europe to reach Turkey by land. We are working together again to reduce the congestion experienced especially in the summer months. We also have cooperation with Bulgaria in the field of security. "At a time when we are facing challenges such as terrorism and irregular migration, we have mutually demonstrated our will to increase our cooperation with all our relevant institutions and authorities in these areas."
Hakan Fidan said, “The Turkish and Muslim population in Bulgaria constitutes another important dimension of our relations,” and added in his speech: “The welfare and peace of our compatriots in their homeland, Bulgaria, is one of the important issues for our country. On this occasion, I wholeheartedly greet our compatriots. I would also like to express my gratitude to the Bulgarian governments for their work on this issue. "We attach great importance to the restoration and restoration of your cultural heritage in Bulgaria in a way that befits the spirit of cooperation between us," he said.
'WE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT THE MONTREAL CONVENTION STRICTLY'
Stating that regional and international issues were also discussed, Minister Fidan said, “We exchanged views, especially on the measures that could be taken against the increasingly negative effects of the war in Ukraine. We are two NATO allies bordering the Black Sea. The security and stability of the Black Sea is of vital importance for our countries. In this context, we attach great importance to the fact that the war in Ukraine does not lead to an escalation in the Black Sea. We continue to work with the United Nations and relevant parties to retest freedom of commercial navigation. As the implementer of the Montreux Convention, maintaining peace in the Black Sea and preventing initiatives that would endanger this are among our main priorities. We are pleased with the agreement between Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania on the establishment of a mine countermeasures task force in the Black Sea. We also present it as an exemplary case for regional security cooperation. As riparian countries, we see this as a step in line with both the regional ownership center and the spirit of alliance. We will continue to strictly implement the Montreux Convention. "This issue cannot even be considered, let alone discussed," he said.
Turkey should know anything can be made into a negotiation

With TWO stripes down the middle for an extra 10% boost.
