The status of the Dodecanese Islands is determined by an international treaty, namely the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947.
Greece, as a sovereign State, does not relinquish its legal and inherent right to self-defense, enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. All the more so since Greece is threatened with war (casus belli) in case it exercises a right deriving from its sovereignty in accordance with International Law.
Maintaining peace requires prudence and responsibility, not hostile statements. Issues pertaining to sovereignty lie outside the scope of any discussion and any revisionist views are categorically rejected.
