In 1839, Britain invaded China to crush resistance to its participation in the country`s economic and political affairs, and was one of the main objectives of the British war: the occupation of Hong Kong Island, populated on the coasts of southeastern China. The new British colony (Hong Kong Island) prospered as it became a shopping centre between East and West and a commercial and commercial centre for southern China, and in 1898 Britain gained an additional 99 years of domination over Hong Kong under the second Beijing Agreement. When the Ottoman Empire was exhausted by the wars in 1918, the scene was put on a final punch, which was Sevres. Although it was never implemented, the Treaty of Sevres continued to resonate a hundred years later. Indeed, Sevres is a slogan of external interference in Turkey and double standards. Regarding the articulation of the end of the agreement with political tensions between Turkey and certain European Union countries, observers ask: “Is there an article in international law that provides for the validity of international treaties only for 100 years?” and noted that “Germany denounced the Treaty 20 years after its signing, 20 years after its signing, 20 years after its signing?” , is it possible for Turkey to do so? The treaty is looming even more. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has a penchant for position on historical symbols, began meeting late last year with the head of Libya`s UNITED Nations-backed government at a former palace of Ottoman sultans in Istanbul. After one of those meetings, Erdogan explicitly linked his government`s newly strengthened foreign policy to a historic settlement. “Thanks to this military and energy cooperation, we have overthrown the Treaty of Sevres,” he said, praising his country`s desire to re-project power over the Mediterranean. “One of the main drivers of Turkey`s behavior is that Ankara, with the exception of the Tripoli government, which controls half of war-torn Libya – including military actions in Syria and Iraq – has virtually no allies in the region,” said Jaroslav Trofimov of the Wall Street Journal. “The first regional organization to cooperate on energy development, the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum, established last year, brings together Egypt, Israel, Cyprus, Greece, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and Italy. France, a farou opposing Turkish targets in the region and whose frigate fought with three Turkish ships off Libya in June, also applied for membership. With an out-of-control economic situation, Erdogan yesterday began symbolically provocative naval maneuvers in the Greek maritime space, which put the Greek army on alert and war.

By allowing seven warships to be accompanied by the research vessel Orué Reis, Erdogan made a significant gesture by launching a major provocation on a day considered a national embarrassment for Turkey.
