@nightbot.2817 UNCLOS is actually the final decision signed by every country. I've yet to find a single Turk nationalist in this thread to tell me 1 country that doesn't recognise UNCLOS for their sea territories. Only Turkey.
"UNCLOS does not say that the island where 600 people live should steal the EEZ, or economic zone, from the place where 2,000,000 people live." Yes it actually does. And that is mainly to prevent from isolation of island parts. In fact every country recognizes this besides Turkey.
"it does not say that 40,000 times the size of the land area of 9-12 square kilometers deserves an EEZ" Again it does.
This comes from a legal expert in another thread: "All of the provisions of UNCLOS are considered and proven to be customary law. Thus, Turkey before an international judicial body (like the ICJ) will be recognized as being subject to these provisions. As such, the 12 nautical miles (being considered by law as an “iPso facto” and “ab initio” sovereign right) is not legally negotiable and are going to be recognized to Greece. However, when it comes to EEZ of islands special and general circumstances apply. For example, In numerous cases, the ICJ whilst delimitating maritime zones between island nations and other nations (see the judgment about Libya and Malta) has recognized a diminished effect of islands in producing EEZ. All in all, all territory qualifying as islands (territory that either has population and/or economic activity) have a 12nm territorial waters, however, a really small island may not produce no EEZ at all, if regarded so by the ICJ."

@r.yuksel9774 Untrue. All support was withdrawn by March 1921
"By this time all other fronts had been settled in favour of the Turks,freeing more resources for the main threat of the Greek Army. France and Italy concluded private agreements with the Turkish revolutionaries in recognition of their mounting strength.[62] They viewed Greece as a British client, and sold military equipment to the Turks. The new Bolshevik government of Russia became friendly to the Turkish revolutionaries, as shown in the Treaty of Moscow (1921). The Bolsheviks supported Mustafa Kemal and his forces with money and ammunition.[63][64] In 1920 alone, Bolshevik Russia supplied the Kemalists with 6,000 rifles, over 5 million rifle cartridges, and 17,600 shells as well as 200.6 kg (442.2 lb) of gold bullion. In the subsequent two years the amount of aid increased.[65]"
"Having failed to reach a military solution, Greece appealed to the Allies for help, but early in 1922 Britain, France and Italy decided that the Treaty of Sèvres could not be enforced and had to be revised. In accordance with this decision, under successive treaties, the Italian and French troops evacuated their positions, leaving the Greeks exposed."
The French and British ships waited and watched as the Turks burned down the city of Smyrna slaughtering tens of thousands of Greeks and Armenians.
