Bassil not concerned over Turkish objections to Lebanese-Cypriot agreement

October 4, 2011

Energy Minister Gebran Bassil said in an interview published on Tuesday that the Turkish objections to the Lebanon-Cyprus maritime borders agreement “will not have any weight.”

“The Turkish objections to the Lebanese-Cypriot treaty do not have any tangible influence because Lebanon does not share maritime borders with Turkey or with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus which Lebanon does not recognize,” Bassil told Al-Akhbar newspaper.

Bassil added that “had former Prime Minister Saad Hariri not yielded to the Turkish demands, the oil drilling would have started and Lebanon would not have lost 860 Km2 of maritime land following the Cypriot-Israeli agreement.”

Last week, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told PM Najib Mikati that his country rejects Lebanon’s maritime treaty with Cyprus.

In July, Israel's cabinet approved a map of the Jewish state's proposed maritime borders with Lebanon, which is to be submitted to the United Nations.

Following Israel’s approval of the map, Energy Minister Gebran Bassil countered that Lebanon will not give up its maritime rights. Lebanon and Israel differ on their interpretation of the maritime border.

The Lebanese Parliament in August 2010 passed an oil exploration bill, which calls for the establishment of a treasury and a committee to oversee exploration and drilling off of Lebanon.

Another big huge slap in the face for Turkey!

Even Lebanon is fighting for its Sea Convention rights.

So what is Greece's problems all these years?

So what is Greece's problems all these years?

The Captain Feathersword answer: Greece's problem is that they are a worthless nation of dickless (but somehow still homosexual!) gypsies who couldn't stand up to a bunch of 7 year old girls, and need to be shown how to be men by the Israelis and the Lebanese.

The real answer: Turkey is not a signatory to the UNCLoS, and so maritime disputes between Greece and Turkey (who share a maritime 'border') are subject to customary law/treaties (where applicable) and bilateral negotiations, for continental shelf matters that are not addressed in existing treating treaties. The turks are under no obligation to agree to anything reasonable, or anything at all. In the case of Lebanon, Lebanon does not share a maritime border with Turkey, so there is no issue.

No, the real real answer is this, as Turkey once said!

This is why we have a Navy. This is why we have spent Billions buying state of the art equipment and trained our sailors.

If you lack the bollocks, then why spend so much money on arms? Might as well just say, "hey world, we Greeks are just too stupid and dickless, so we don't spend on defense because we lack bollocks anyway, and Turkey can have whatever it wants". At least they wouldn't be as broke I guess....
