Announcement of Marine Spatial Planning Map by the Self-Proclaimed State
June 9, 2025
The self-proclaimed state is set to announce its Marine Spatial Planning Map in response to Greece's planned marine parks for the United Nations. The Turkish newspaper Yeni Şafak reports that Greece aims to create a new area of sovereignty in the Southern Aegean. The announcement of the map by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus will aim to resist unilateral actions by the Greek side. This situation highlights the increasing tension over maritime claims in the region.
