Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar urges Greece to seek peaceful methods based on international law
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar arrives for a meeting of NATO defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Thursday, Oct 24, 2019.
“We won’t let anyone violate our rights in any way. This is not a threat. It’s not a weakness to say that we want good relations with our neighbours,” Akar said.the militarisation of the Aegean Sea islands were banned or severely restricted with several agreements that ensure Turkey’s security: the 1913 Treaty of London, the 1914 Decision of Six Powers, and the 1923 Lausanne Peace Treaty, the 1936 Montreux Convention and the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty.
The continued militarisation of the islands and Turkey’s insistence that non-militarisation is still binding has remained a key dispute between the two countries since 1964, when Turkey reacted to Athens’ arming of the islands for the first time, with a diplomatic note. Accepting Libya’s internationally-recognised government, Government of National Accord ’s request for help, Turkey has been supporting the Libyan government’s efforts to stop the advance of warlord Khalifa Haftar’s militia.
Turkey is currently drilling with two vessels in the Eastern Mediterranean off the coast of the divided island of Cyprus.
