<p>Dear İlhami Özer,</p>
<p>These borders are disputed and the island is claimed by both
Greece and Turkey.</p>
<p>There was a recent incident near the island in January: "A
Turkish navy missile boat accompanied with two special-forces
speedboats entered the area around the islets on 29 January 2017.
According to the statement issued by the Defence Ministry of
Greece, they were blocked and warned by Greek coast guard vessels
and withdrew from the area after about seven minutes. The Turkish
armed forces denied that the ships were blocked but did not
otherwise deny the incident; they stated that the mission was a
part of an inspection of the Aksaz Naval Base by chief of General
Staff Hulusi Akar, who was on board at the time." (Source: <a

article about the island</a>)<br>

<p>You (I assume it's you, because of the similarity of <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/iloz">your username</a>
and your real name and the proximity of time to your e-mail to the
list) now changed the borders to reflect your point of view in
this changeset yesterday: <a
href="https://openstreetmap.org/changeset/47194531">https://openstreetmap.org/changeset/47194531</a>
.<br>
</p>
I'm not an expert on borders and how disputed borders are handled in
OSM, so I forward this to the talk-list, because this probably needs
more discussion.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
