We know the rules of the sea; thank you pedant bill. But what some people fail to acknowledge (because it makes their impotent clinging to Britain's and Turkey's joint impositions appear anachronistic and barmy) is that the attempt to isolate Cyprus from Greece was, inter alia, to truncate our contiguous waters which have been used (established right) for thousands of years - this being part of the Hellenic world that 80% of the Cypriots (100% of the native Cypriots) gratefully belong to.

The very recent signing of Cyprus' EEZ with Israel was facilitated by Greece. And as quoted, Israel recognizes the contiguousness of Cyprus and Greece. Non-debatable any more anyway because it's all in the EU.

What a load of bullshit!

An EEZ is the median point between land masses or States.

It is still the same surface area.

Israel merely recognises a seperate EEZ for Greece and another EEZ for the RoC which share a boundary between Cyprus and Kastelorizo and which Turkey disputes because of Greece's stupidity.

Greece facilitated bugger all and furthermore can't even organise a root in a brothel, whereas the RoC has had far better relations with Israel since the early 90s and would even buy Israeli arms.

Cyprus doesn't need bankrupt Greece and the RoC has tangible agreements with US and Israeli firms and the RoC managed this without Greece!!

Greece won't even claim its territorial seas to its full extent abd I am getting awfully sick and tired of Greeks insulting the RoC and its sovereignty.

The RoC will make its own destiny without Greece because all Greece has contributed is a lot destruction and one calamity after another.

If Greece wants respect from us, then they better get their house in order and take responsibility for all the stupid things they have done and behave like a good middle power should!

Greece and Cyprus have a continuous EEZ:

According to published maps, Jerusalem recognizes the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which is the continuation of the Cypriot EEZ.

Yes thank you for the insight into your Greek brain and thanks for the junk Greek Blog link.

Cyprus and Turkey have a continuous EEZ also. Cyprus has a continuous EEZ with Egypt, Lebanon and Israel as well.

And Greece still has not claimed its Territorial Seas so deserve nothing but contempt for this!

Greece is a non entity in the RoC's bilateral dealings with Israel.

Greece should stick with what it is good at and that is collaborating and appeasing our enemy Turkey.

Now for more lessons ...........

I am not interested! I said previously I won’t get involved in discussing Cyprus and/or its problems, you have clearly demonstrated why!

I suggest maybe we should stick to original thread, that being ‘The impending war against Iran’. I do know a bit about Iran and as the threat emanates from the US and Israel which in the same context I also know something about, the inclusion of Cyprus and/or the Cyprus problem is not remotely part of the equation. So, thank you for the offer but I don’t think you can teach me very much on the subject of the thread.

I just gave you plenty of reasons that the Israeli/Palestinian problem is different from the Cyprus problem. There are no significant similarities between the two conflicts..

I posted an observation from the view of a non-Cypriot. If you disagree that is fine with me as it is not my problem.

Irrespective of the way it happened in each case both the Greek Cypriots and the Palestinians seem to share a common ambition:
1. Return of their stolen lands.
2. Repatriation of the illegal settlers.
3. Removal of the foreign military presence.

i may also have the same aspirations as the Wahhabbi tribe in the dessert of Saudi Arabia but that doesnt mean our histories are the same

President Rouhani addresses the United Nations General Assembly.

A man and a country of peace? ............. Maybe the US and Israel should take a look in the mirror to see where the threat and the aggression REALLY is in this world?

The Russians defeated the US over their attempt to attack Syria ..... well, for the time being anyway and Rouhani has just delivered a speech to the UN General Assembly which should knock the wind out of the Zionists sails? Again Rouhani repeats that Iran has no desire for a nuclear weapon and calling once again for a nuclear free zone in the Middle East, in fact a nuclear free world. He singled out Israel as a nuclear rogue State and called upon the UN to make them sign the NPT and also the other non-signatories and non-ratifier's.

I would have given anything to see Netanyahu’s face as he watched the speech ....which he no doubt did. Now will Netanyahu ‘The War Monger’ listen to Rouhani? Of course not and the US will side with Israel and spew out more lies about the Iranian nuclear threat, in spite of the fact that Netanyahu has for the last 21+ years been saying the Iranians are months away from making a nuclear weapon. But all other sources like the IAEA and US/Israeli Intelligence, have all said there is no evidence (let alone proof) that there has ever been any substance to Netanyahu’s rabid accusations.

Too soon for the transcript or the video but having caught the tail end of his speech, it should be worth looking at. It is certainly on all the TV News channels.

Iran arrests man spyiyng for UK's MI6



The headquarters of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)


Iran has arrested a spy in the southeastern city of Kerman working for Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), says a local official.

The spy was apprehended after months of “complicated intelligence activity,” said Head of Kerman’s Revolution Court Dadkhoda Salari.

He had contacted British intelligence agents 11 times both inside and outside Iran, and passed information to them, Salari said.

The man also received advice from the MI6 to act against Iran’s interests, Salari pointed out.

The spy had made contacts with four British intelligence officers and had been asked to collect the intelligence they needed, said the judicial official

The spy, who is on trial, has pleaded guilty, said Salari.

In 1953, Britain’s secret service, MI6, and the CIA organized a coup to remove the then Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, reinstalling and supporting the brutal regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi until its collapse in 1979.

The CIA has published a document for the first time after six decades confirming Washington’s role in the British- and American-backed military overthrow of the Mosaddeq administration.
