"Ankaras Mediterranean Exists on Paper Not at Sea When Ankara invokes the term the Mediterranean it is not describing geography. It is projecting intent. In Turkish official usage the phrase deliberately stretches beyond internationally recognised maritime zones. It includes areas Ankara claims on behalf of the unrecognised entity in northern Cyprus. It also extends to maritime spaces derived from the Turkey Libya delimitation. An agreement the European Union has formally ruled to be legally void. This posture is not accidental. Turkey is not a party to UNCLOS. It advances unilateral"

My latest statecraft analysis via @SomalilandChro1 (thanks to @Saeed_beeldeeq) Its not whether Somaliland deserves recognition. Its why the system rewards dysfunction and punishes self-rule.
