Greece has formally protested Turkey’s recent declaration of two marine parks, arguing they lack legal standing in areas exceeding Turkish jurisdiction. The Greek embassy in Ankara delivered the protest, specifically challenging the parks' extension into waters Athens claims as part of its continental shelf. This dispute arises amidst existing tensions regarding maritime boundaries in the Aegean Sea. The protest also addresses Turkish objections to three Greek development plans concerning tourism, renewable energy, and industrial activities. Greece maintains its sovereign rights over the contested areas and rejects Turkey's claims. The move underscores the ongoing disagreements between the two nations concerning resource exploration and maritime control in the region. This incident further complicates the already strained relationship between Greece and Turkey.
