It was not the Turkey who want to expand his territories
to 12 miles (and then Greek islands would surround the
Turkish mainland) but Greece. And it is also greece who
armed his Island agains the Treatment.

Murtaza, if Greece extends its territory to 12 miles,
then Turkish people should ask for an exception for
Schengen visas, since they will always need one when
they want to swim in the Aegean sea!

I think we already discussed this issue and we said that to whatever the territorial sea is expanded when the two regions overlap the territorial sea is divided in the middle.For example if Kastellorizo is lets say 10 miles from Turkey even if both Cgreece and Turkey have 6 or 12 miles territorial waters what Greece gets is ONLY 5 miles from Kastellorizo and Turkey ONLY 5 miles from it's shores.
So in EVERY CASE Turkish people will have EXACTLY as much sea to swim in as the Greek ones.

Well I dont like swimming np for me. But I think main
problem is firstly Greece armed this island (against the
treatry so it is illegal) than now want to expand its
territory.

Did the treaty say that Turkey should form "Aegean thong" right oposite the islands ready to attack them and conquer them in 5 minutes??? Legally speaking armying the islands was illegal, keeping them defendless though and there would not be any islands left to Greece to subtantiate the treaty on the first place!

Main problem is that, we dont trust Greece and Greece dont trust us.
So we prefer this sea stay international sea. we dont want to loose our rigths for international sea. We have our trade and military ship that seas.
what is the right for Greece is not right for us. So treatry favour our claims. This is not an etchical problem, A political problem.

So you dont trust us.But have not idea what treaty say about Aegean army.

So main problem is trust.
We think you still want to İzmır and İstanbul.(I am almost sure, at least achilleus want it.) And Greece think we want her islands. And time goes.
Just dont make this ethical.
