CLAIMS BY TURKEY ARE ILLEGAL AND IMPERIALISTIC
In maritime contexts, NAVTEX (NAVegational TEXt) is an international, automated medium-frequency service that provides ships with essential Marine Safety Information (MSI), including weather forecasts, navigational warnings, and search and rescue notices.
Each signatory country to this service is allocated a portion of maritime area to control and issue warnings to International shipping. The organisation overseeing this system is the IHO (International Hydrographic Organisation) which has 102 member states including Greece and Turkey. As a result the two countries are obliged to control their portion of maritime area. The IHO has drawn and published detailed maps of the areas allocated to each country and these are easily checked by anybody. We show below the map referring to the East Mediterranean.
During the latest NAVAREA meeting, Greece was asked to control the North Eastern area of Libya.
The map was published after the meeting of THE NAVAREA III NAVTEX SERVICE NATIONAL CO-ORDINATORS MEETING IHB, PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO, 18-19 JANUARY 2006.
Let's explain the map:
Red lines: The lines enclosing a country's area of control.
Red dots: The stations which issue NAVTEX.
By closing-in we can see the responsibility areas of Greece and Turkey as set by IHO.
GREECE
Lemnos for North Aegean
Heraklion for South Aeggean
Corfu for South Adriatic and Ionian Seas
TURKEY
Istanbul
: Serves the Sea of Marmara and western Black SeaSamsun: covers the Black Sea
Izmir: broadcasts for the Aegean borders
Antalya:Provides warnings for the Mediterranean Sea
It is, therefore, not possible for Turkey to issue NAVTEX for areas in Greece's responsibility; no ifs no buts no coconuts.
COMPRENDS?
