Turkey's maritime claims in the Eastern Mediterranean make sense the moment you realize that Crete doesn't count and Cyprus doesn't exist.
Again, my position is that if fairness had anything to do with this Malawi should have an EEZ, but that's not the system the international community decided on.
Insisting the concept of the "international community" is meaningless isnt the kind of thing that goes down well with the international community, whatever exactly that is.
The angriest responses here seem to be from people explaining why Crete doesnt count.
I feel like "Kastellorizo shouldnt count" is the kind of argument people could go for. But I've been to Crete and it is definitely not an uninhabited rock.
