The Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry delivered a note verbale to the Libyan embassy in Athens, refuting claims of ‘illegal’ actions by seismic research vessel ‘Sanco Swift’, diplomatic sources said on Tuesday. According to the ministry, the maritime research south of the Peloponnese and southwest of Crete is carried out in regions of Greek jurisdiction, according to the rules of the international law of the sea. The coordinates of the regions where research is taking place are accessible to all interested parties through relevant Navtex announcements. In addition, the Greek ministry underlines that these illegal memorandums ignore and volate Greece’s sovereign rights over its continental shelf, as well as its sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the Exclusive Economic Zone.
