Neither the government of Italy, the state that shares the Ionian Sea with Greece, nor the government of Egypt, and no any other government of Mediterranean country, even EU members, have not reacted in support of the new plan of the Greek Prime Minister, announced on August 26, for the expansion of Greek territorial waters in the Ionian Sea.

Only Tirana in an official way and in the most surprisingly servile way, made an official statement in support of the Greek plan to expand Greek territorial waters in the Ionian Sea. 

If the expansion of the Greek territorial sea in the Ionian Sea has nothing to do with Albania and if it is merely an internal Greek matter, no diplomatic and state logic accepts that Tirana should applaud the new Greek plan.

Neither the Albanian government, nor the Albanian diplomacy and all those pro-Greece in Tirana, who came out in support of Athens' plan to expand the Greek territorial waters in the Ionian Sea to 12 nautical miles, do not and can not answer the simple question: 

"Why hasn't Greece expanded territorial waters in the Ionian Sea so far, at a time when the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, on which the Greek prime minister says the new Greek plan is based, has been adopted since 1982?" . 

The expansion of Greek territorial waters in the Ionian Sea has nothing to do either with the agreement of maritime economic zones signed by Greece with Italy or with the agreement of maritime economic zones signed by Greece with Egypt. Italy and Egypt are hundreds of miles away the Greek coast. 

The expansion of Greek territorial waters in the Ionian Sea is related only to Albania.
