There's a "nose" that drops down from Turkey, and the EastMed pipeline goes straight from Cyprus to Crete, so it would cross into that "nose". It says "territorial waters" there, so I'm confused as to whether that's so or, if not, what it is.

- throwawayffffas 6y agoIndeed this is a rather confused map, the zones demarcated in that map are the EEZ(Exclusive Economic Zones). As they are claimed by Greece and Cyprus. Two hundred nautical miles from their shores or the middle line where they overlap with the Turkish EEZ. The crux of the dispute though is that while that's how Greece and Cyprus interpret their rights, there is no provision in UNCLOS for handling overlaps, it only says there should be an agreement. As far as the pipeline is concerned, I think the Greek plan would be to make the pipeline, a bit more to the south where Greek and Cypriot zones meet.
- StavrosK 6y agoOkay, that makes sense, thanks. I was wondering why those "Territorial waters" looked much the same as the EEZ claims.
