A “hot incident” took place between Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias and the Turkish ambassador to Norway over the issue of territorial waters and the casus belli.
In particular, in a discussion organized by the Norwegian Institute of International Relations, Mr. Dendias spoke about what is happening in the Mediterranean, presenting relevant maps and emphasizing that Turkey ignores international law and has been threatening Greece with casus belli since 1995.
The Foreign Minister’s statements were followed by questions and the Turkish Ambassador to Norway spoke, stating that Turkey is doing what it does in response to Greek actions, such as the discussion on extending the territorial waters to 12 miles. He added that the casus belli was issued by the Turkish National Assembly when Greece decided to claim the delimitation of the EEZs and the expansion of its maritime borders, while noting that the Turkish-Libyan agreement also came in response to Greek actions.
He even interrupted Mr. Dendias, who explained to him that what he described was the reality in the eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean and that nowhere in the world is there a corresponding casus belli from one state to another.
