Turkey's CHP reaffirms casus belli on Aegean, backs two‑state Cyprus plan
The Republican People's Party (CHP) unveiled a new foreign‑policy declaration in Ankara, stressing that the Turkish parliament’s 1995 decision on a casus belli concerning the Aegean Sea remains fully effective. The party condemned recent Greek statements and actions aimed at extending Greece’s territorial waters in the Aegean, describing them as threats to regional peace and stability.
CHP also reiterated that a two‑state solution is the only realistic framework for lasting peace on the island of Cyprus, rejecting any initiatives that could upset the balance between the two communities. In addition, the party urged the swift conclusion of a maritime delimitation agreement with Syria and called for greater transparency from the Turkish government regarding its diplomatic contacts in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf.
