Talk:Gavdos

Untitled
I see there have been several edits recently regarding whether Gavdos is disputed. I did some googling and found out this. I quote the relevant text here:


 * Contradicting recent statements by Turkish political leaders, the president of the Turkish Liberal Democratic Party Bisim Tibuk said in Athens yesterday that there were no "grey areas" in the Aegean.


 * ''"There are no grey areas in the Aegean, there is no problem with Gavdos, all this is a small, bureaucratic mistake," he said after meeting Athens Mayor Dimitris Avramopoulos at City Hall.


 * "Eighty or 90 per cent of Turks want peace and friendship with Greece," Mr. Tibuk continued, who has been honored with the Ipekci Award for his work toward the promotion of Greek-Turkish friendship. 

Ofcourse the text is dated in 1996, so I don't know if anything has cropped up inbetween, but unless anyone can come up with serious references that the island is in fact in dispute, I think the article needs to be deleted from the category Aegean dispute grey zones.

Gavda island is not a disputed island. Gavda island is a Turkish Gray Zone island. If you look at the decision of International Permanent Court of Arbitration, you can see that PCA referenced the Lausanne Agreement (btw. Greece and Turkey) 79 times to solve Eritrea - Yemen dispute. PCA decisions are all in favor of Turkey. See PCA's official site. Also, Besim Tibuk is an untrusted politician in Turkey. His party never exceeded 1% percentage in any election. His words about Gavda is just to take the sympaty of Greeks. But, in Turkey everyone (except Besim Tibuk) is ready to fight for Turkish Gavda island.

1. the Ottoman Empire shortly possessed a fortress in Sicily around 1490 2. Gavdos has less turkish inhabitants than Sicily 3. Sicily is bigger and richer 4. establishing a ship line between Antalya and Gavdos will be a complete financial disaster for the company on board. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimitris Chrisafinos193.105.85.4 (talk) 14:25, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not everyone in turkey are ready, I have two friends in Izmir that claim the opposite. Anyway, if you really insist to go to war, I suggest you to leave Gavdos to Greece and take Sicily instead. It's only a bit further far away from Turkey but you can claim it because:

The Gavdos/Crete Permanent Facility for Altimeter Calibration
Good morning,

I would like to suggest adding another sidebar heading called Science || Climate Science || Space, or anything similar.

Gravdos is home to a very important satellite calibration site. View the inspiring video featuring Prof. Stellios P. Mertikas.

I am not an SME on any of this material, so please refer to the following:
