Artizan Dalgıç

Artisanal Diver is a professional adventure literature in which collector diving, whose roots go back to the dawn of civilization, is told, and academic language is blended with sailor conversation. In Artisanal Diver, Hakan Kabasakal described this challenging and yet epic profession, as he called it, “the profession of the brave”, with a blend of his own experiences, scientific evidence, ecological concerns and a love for the sea. Whenever the word comes from our seas, the name of this place for us has now become the “Blue Homeland”, almost every head has a voice and this confusion often does not lead to a conclusion. Perhaps the main reason for this situation is that the connoisseurs of the business are not given the opportunity to speak or they are listening to what they say. From this point of view, Artisanal Diver can be thought of as a resource that is not content with explaining an important profession in our country, but offers solutions to the problems from a perspective directly from the profession. We wish you a pleasant and safe dive between the pages of Artisanal Diver.

Dispute Over Eastern Mediterranean Maritime Jurisdiction Areas

Sertaç Hami BAŞEREN

There is a worsening dispute on maritime jurisdiction areas in the Eastern Mediterranean. Oil and natural gas reserves assumed to be in the region exacerbate the dispute. Greece wants to delineate the continental shelf boundary with Turkey by drawing a median line passing between Anatolian and the islands of Rhodos and Meis, and to delimit the continental shelf/EEZ areas in the Mediterranean with Egypt and the Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus. The Greek Cypriot Administration wants to delineate its continental shelf boundary with Turkey by drawing a median line passing between the Cyprus Island and Anatolia, and to delimit the continental shelf/EEZ areas in the region with Egypt and Greece on the median line principle. Such a delimitation prevents the non-encroachment right of Turkey in the region. Turkey asserts that this delimitation is not equitable, that Cyprus Island and Greece should not be granted any continental shelf except for their territorial waters on its western coasts and the regional islands respectively in compliance with the international law, and that the large continental shelf/EEZ areas should be delimited between Turkey and Egypt, which are the owners of the two coasts dominating the region.
