A retired Turkish admiral calls for the immediate submission of the "blue homeland" bill to parliament!
Retired admiral Yanki Bagazioglu: "Recent developments in the Eastern Mediterranean have once again shown the need for local legal regulations and decisive action by the state to ensure the exercise of effective powers deriving from international law in the protection of Turkey's rights and interests at sea. In this context, local legal regulations must be completed, and issues such as submarine cables and pipelines, scientific research, energy activity, marine protected areas, fisheries, the security of critical marine infrastructure, and islands, islets and rocks in the Aegean Sea whose sovereignty has not been transferred to Greece must be comprehensively addressed. The further postponement of the Maritime Jurisdiction Zones Bill, which is expected to be submitted to Turkey's Grand National Assembly in June and October, is unacceptable. The bill must be brought before the Grand National Assembly of Turkey without delay, and the legal and administrative mechanisms that will protect Turkey's rights and interests in the sea must be strengthened. ".
