Greece has established rules to organize marine areas, including the goal of extending territorial waters in the Aegean Sea to 12 nautical miles.

The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this initiative fulfills Greece's responsibilities under national law. This is significant for detailing the use of marine areas.

It was emphasized that the Greek map could provoke a reaction from Turkey. However, it was stated, "Disagreement does not mean we cannot negotiate."

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Greece's actions violate maritime jurisdiction and expressed readiness for cooperation in the Aegean Sea.

Turkey is taking significant steps to protect its rights and interests in surrounding seas through marine spatial planning, conducted within the framework of international law.
