Greece’s militarisation of the Aegean islands stands in clear violation of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne and the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty and threatens to escalate the situation in the region
The island of Meis is not the only one that could be observed from geographical proximity from Türkiye’s Aegean coasts, as the same goes for some larger islands such as Lesbos, Samos, and Chios at varying distances of up to 10 kilometres from the Turkish mainland.
As per the 1913 Treaty of London signed after the First Balkan War, the islands of Thasos, Aya Evstratios, Psara, Samotraki, and Lemnos were given to Greece through the decision of the ‘Six States’: Austria-Hungary, England, France, Russia, Italy, and Germany. The Treaty of Lausanne also noted that the Greek government would not be able to establish a naval base or fortification on the islands of Lesvos, Chios, Samos, and Ikaria.
Both agreements permit the deployment of only a limited number of law enforcement units on the islands. So, under the explicit provisions of the treaties to which Athens is a party to, Greece does not possess the right to arm the islands in the Eastern Aegean.
