Μήνυμα στην Τουρκία στέλνουν οι ηγέτες που μετείχαν στην Ευρωμεσογειακή Διάσκεψη MED7 που ολοκληρώθηκε στην Κορσική.
Στο κείμενο των συμπερασμάτων (Διακήρυξη της Αζαξιό) και στην παράγραφο 6 που αφορά την Ειρήνη και τη σταθερότητα στη Μεσόγειο, οι ηγέτες εκφράζουν την πλήρη στήριξη και αλληλεγγύη τους στην Ελλάδα και την Κύπρο για τις επανειλημμένες παραβιάσεις κυριαρχίας και κυριαρχικών δικαιωμάτων, όπως και για τις επιθετικές ενέργειες της Τουρκίας.
Καλούν όλες τις χώρες της περιοχής να συμμορφωθούν με το Διεθνές Δίκαιο, και συγκεκριμένα με το Διεθνές Δίκαιο της Θάλασσας, και ενθαρρύνουν όλες τις πλευρές να επιλύσουν τις διαφορές τους μέσω του διαλόγου και της διαπραγμάτευσης.
Το κείμενο της παραγράφου 6:
Peace and stability in the Mediterranean
6- We reiterate our full support and solidarity with Cyprus and Greece in the face of the repeated infringements on their sovereignty and sovereign rights, as well as confrontational actions by Turkey. We call upon all the countries in the region to abide by international law, in particular international law of the sea, and encourage all parties to resolve their disputes through dialogue and negotiation. In this respect, we welcome the mediation efforts of the HR/VP and Germany in order to achieve a resumption of the dialogue between Greece and Turkey on the maritime zone issue. In addition, we welcome the invitation by the Government of Cyprus to negotiate with Turkey, noting that delimitation of exclusive economic zones and continental shelf should be addressed through dialogue and negotiation in good faith, in full respect of international law and in accordance with the principle of good neighbourly relations. In line with recent European Council and EU Council conclusions, we regret that Turkey has not responded to the repeated calls by the European Union to end its unilateral and illegal activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea. We reaffirm our determination to use all adequate means at the disposal of the European Union in response to these confrontational actions. In line with the latest Informal Meeting of EU Foreign Ministers (Gymnich), we agree to speed up work on the additional listings based on the proposals tabled so far, with a view to its rapid adoption. We maintain that in absence of progress in engaging Turkey into a dialogue and unless it ends its unilateral activities, the EU is ready to develop a list of further restrictive measures that could be discussed at the European Council on 24-25 September 2020.
