The context of the EEZ is defined by the Law of the Sea from 1982 ,yet still , we were waiting for years to turn this framework into a field, at least for Hellenism through the establishment of the EEZ of Cyprus in 2004 And that was transformed into an action field with the drillings of 2011, and the discovery of the richness of the Venus gas field.
Now, with the pipeline issue, the whole thing will become a battleground because of it’s economic character.
Consequently, whether we want it or not in 2012 we would manage the crisis because there isn’t anymore space.
In actual fact, the issue of the EEZ will enter a new phase. This we could have called: Revolution of the sea.
Of course, there are even some of our own who do not believe in this solution for many different reasons, as they also did then ,back in the Revolution of 1821. There are however many of ours, who finally understand that an unclaimed law, is a lost one. And the issue of the EEZ is now clear to most.
There is no reason of further delaying establishment and indeed ,with time, this delay could have serious consequences, even if they are not compatible to the Law of the Sea.
He who drives according only to the traffic law, without being cautious about the movements of others, and sometimes just foresees them, is doomed to get involved in an accident even if he is on the right.
The EEZ, whether we want it or not, gives great importance to the sea.
Greece, whether we want it or not, has a huge EEZ.
These two facts predetermine events and produce a future.
Of course through servileness the second factor can be minimized.
It is therefore necessary to contribute to this struggle, which for our country consists of a true liberation from the current situation, which increasingly resembles some form of oppression, which could easily be transformed into a vilayet if the neo-ottoman doctrine of Turkey could be applied without it’s resistance.
It is not enough to listen to theoretical programs due to the elections.
The EEZ subject is by nature a national one and therefore above political parties. Consequently, each party must take a clear and positive position regarding the EEZ, without looking for weird and bizarre excuses that would not convince anyone specialized on the subject.
Practically a dealer of the issue, such as Mr. S.Kassinis has shown, not only what are the potentials but also the implementations.
With such specific knowledge, Hellenism has nothing to lose, on the contrary, if Greece can not exploit such intellectual wealth, then it will be worthy of it’s fate and what the servile want, will occur.
So everyone needs to wake up from this social lethargy of society and to participate in the revolution of the sea, for the future of our nation, but also for our people.
