The marine park in the Aegean extends outside the territorial waters west of Imbros-Tenedos between Samothrace-Lemnos.
Turkey published today, Saturday (2/8), the plan for marine parks in the Aegean.
According to the Turkish map issued by the Ankara Maritime Law Center, the marine park extends outside territorial waters, west of Imbros and Tenedos, between Samothrace and Lemnos.
In the Eastern Mediterranean, the marine park excludes Kastellorizo as the marine park begins northeast of Rhodes and reaches as far as the Gulf of Antalya.
With today's maps, Turkey is escalating the tension, as it puts its threats into practice by creating its own marine parks after Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the creation of two new National Marine Parks, one in the Ionian Sea and one in the Aegean Sea.
Turkey has reacted strongly to the decision on Greece's Marine Parks, noting that this is an attempt by the Greek side to disrupt the status quo.
In fact, the Turkish Foreign Ministry had stated in a statement at the time that "in the coming days, Turkey will announce its plans for environmental protection in its maritime areas."

Turkey is negotiating a maritime border agreement with Syria, aiming to define offshore zones and explore energy resources together. This echoes its past deal with Libya, which caused regional backlash. Although Greece watches cautiously, escalation is unlikelyโTurkey has shifted toward diplomacy since 2022, seeking investments and stability. Still, the deal may stir geopolitical concerns, especially in Athens, over Turkeyโs growing influence.

โ๐ฒ๐ฉ Moldova: Two Breakaway Realities
โ๐ฒ๐ฉ Gagauzia vs. Transnistria โ What's the Difference?
Both are located within the internationally recognized borders of Moldova, but they are very different in status, history, and alignment.
๐ฆ Gagauzia
- Status: Autonomous Territorial Unit within Moldova.
- Population: Mainly Gagauz (a Turkic-speaking Orthodox Christian group).
- Autonomy: Granted by Moldovan law in 1994 after tensions over independence.
- Politics: Pro-Russian sentiment, but still under full Moldovan control
- Capital: Comrat.
๐ฅ Transnistria
- Status: Breakaway region โ de facto independent, but unrecognized.
- Population: Mix of Russians, Ukrainians, and Moldovans.
- Autonomy: Declared independence in 1990; not recognized internationally.
- Politics: Strong Russian military and political presence.
- Capital: Tiraspol.
๐ Key Difference:
While Gagauzia is officially part of Moldova with legal autonomy, Transnistria functions as a self-proclaimed state with its own government, army, and border control โ despite having no international recognition.
