Turkey’s main opposition CHP has made a fresh intervention over the “Blue Homeland” doctrine, calling for proposed legislation on maritime jurisdiction zones to include explicit references to the eastern Mediterranean, an exclusive economic zone (EEZ), and disputed islets and rocky outcrops in the Aegean.
CHP deputy chairman Yanki Bagcioglu called on the Turkish government to immediately declare an EEZ in the eastern Mediterranean, insisting that such a move was necessary.
