Turkey issues note to Greece for violation of international agreements.

March 30 2012 (TUR) -- Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on Friday confirmed reports in the Greek media that Turkey issued a note to Greece recently for the violation of international agreements on demilitarizing Eastern Aegean islands. The Greek media on Friday said that Turkey issued a note to Greece to keep Samothraki (Semadirek) island exempt from military exercises as the island had a demilitarized status according to an agreement signed in 1914 and the Lausanne Treaty of 1923. Greek Ethnos newspapers wrote that Greek officials refused Turkey's arguments by issuing a note to Turkey in return for Turkey's note to them.
