The delimitation of maritime zones cannot be resolved through unilateral action, US Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt said on Monday, speaking to the Greek press after the prime minister’s meetings in Washington last week, but through talks with the affected countries, and based on international law, ANA reports.
Asked to comment on the Turkey-Libya memoranda of understanding on maritime zones, the American ambassador pointed out that the State Department’s legal definition for the memorandums is that they are vague, and he pointed out that the islands, including Crete, have the same maritime rights as mainland areas.
