New agreement

[WHL]

The Agreement signed by Greece and Egypt, conforms to all international law of the seas treaty's, and is lawful, the one signed by Libya and Turkey conforms to piracy and even ignores Crete's very existence ,
if Mickey Mouse had signed it , it would have more credibility.

[WHL]

Erdogan has dismissed the Greek/Egypt agreement as null and void and says drilling will continue. More confrontation!!

Turkeys economy has gone down the toilet, Eudogan has his army in Iraq, Syria, Libya,Somalia, etc, He has upset, Israel, Egypt, France, Saudi Arabia etc etc, his dream of a new Ottoman empire will blow up in his face,

From that link:

Ankara, which does not recognise Cyprus as a state

Is that correct? Turkey doesn´t recognise an EU member state?

Worth a read. Perhaps, but to be taken with a fairly goodly pinch of salt, remembering where it is coming from. Turkey resents Israel's control of the Al Aqsa mosque in the heart of Jerusalem.

Agreed, but has Eudogan not changed Turkey from a forward looking secular democratic European looking nation
into a backward looking war mongering, undemocratic,Iran mk2?

I think the crux of the matter is mentioned in the article and consists of the Turkish control of half a dozen different self-created issues, which are dealt with in turn. By the time the Turkish population have been informed of the first issue, it has been superseded by the second and then by the third, ad nauseam. It is all to show that the boss man is in charge!

Is there an international court which could rule on the underlying conflict and which is acknowledged by Turkey?

The only court Turkey recognises is the Piracy of the seas court , where she is judge and jury.
