Imia or Kardak?

let me guess, some stupid dispute about some tiny, uninhabited rocks?

Is this issue really important? I mean, the main conflict is only about some worthless peace of rock in Aegean Sea, so I dont think it is worth debating on it...

Paying attention to this kind of silly disputes only create problems. Diplomats'd better spend their time with more serious disputes.

To me there are two suitable ways of resolving disputes over small islands:
1) if the island is inhabited, let the inhabitants decide.
2) if the island is not inhabited, ignore it.

Kardak doesnt exist int Greek seaborders. It is in the middle of the border, that is why we had a conflict.

I thought that you opened this topic to discuss properly, without blaming Turkey as being "imperialist". )Imperialis, which Turkey doesnt, and cannot have anything to do with it, isnt for some rock pieces in the middle of Aegean sea. The only confict was because Greek government declared its authority on a piece of rock in the sea, and tried to place its flag onto that piece of rock. This is kind of a mentality of "inferiority complex"...

A Britsh map or any other Turkish map proves nothing.  In some maps in large scales they lack Cyprus. Does it mean that Cyprus doesn't exist. I hope we are clever enough not to fight for an empty rock.

 

 

pls look better the map.. its a map of turkish government ....

No border.It's all mixed up.So Turkey had an equal chance of taking it but now it's international territory.As i said; your map mentioned it as forbidden areas.
