"Turks propose removing threat of war on Greece
Turkey should ditch a decade-old policy of viewing any extension of Greek territorial waters as cause for war, in a bid to further improve ties, Turkish Parliament speaker Bulent Arinc said in comments published yesterday.
In Athens, Foreign Minister Petros Molyviatis described Arinc’s reported remarks as “an important move in the direction of further improving bilateral relations.”
The Turkish Parliament debated in June 1995 a proposal giving the government authority to take measures — including military action — against an attempt by Greece to extend its territorial waters to 12 miles in the Aegean."
