تناول البحث تأثير الجزر المتاخمة للساحل الترکي بمنطقة شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط على تحديد الجرف القاري لترکيا ، بالاعتماد على الإسلوب الوثائقي ، واستخدام المدخل المورفولوجي والمدخل التاريخي ، وقد قيم البحث الخصائص الجغرافية المؤثرة في استحقاق تلک الجزر لمناطق الولاية البحرية ، وتتبع تحديد الجرف القاري لترکيا ، والادعاءات المناوئة للدول المقابلة والملاصقة ، وحلل تباين تحديد الجرف القاري الترکي من خلال ربطه بتباين الحجج القانونية لترکيا من ناحية وللدول المقابلة والملاصقة لها من ناحية أخرى ، حيث تتبنى ترکيا تقزيم تأثير الجزر ، بعدم منحها سوى مياه إقليمية ، وحرمانها من المنطقة الاقتصادية الخالصة أو الجرف القاري ، وتتبنى معظم الدول المقابلة والملاصقة لترکيا تعظيم تأثير الجزر، بمنحها کامل مناطق الولاية البحرية ، مما ترتب عليه تداخل مناطق الولاية البحرية لترکيا ولتلک الجزر، وحلل البحث السيناريوهات المستقبلية المحتملة للنزاع على تحديد الجرف القاري لترکيا ، وخلص البحث إلى أن عدم اليقين القانوني حول التأثير الذي يجب أن يتم منحه للجزر المتاخمة للساحل الترکي قد تسبب في ظهور حدين للجرف القاري الترکي ، أحدهما يوسع مساحته لحدها الأقصى لتبلغ نحو156.6 ألف کم2 ، والآخر يضيقها إلى نحو64.2 ألف کم2 ، حيث تستقطع تلک الجزر لحساب مناطق ولايتها البحرية نحو92.4 ألف کم2 تعادل حوالي59% من مساحة الجرف القاري التي تطالب بها ترکيا.
Abstract
The research dealt with the effect of the islands adjacent to the Turkish coast in the eastern Mediterranean region on delimiting the continental shelf of Turkey, by relying on the documentary method, and using the morphological and historical approaches . Where the research reviewed the geographical characteristics affecting the entitlement of those islands to the maritime jurisdiction Zones, and traced the delimitation of the continental shelf of Turkey by Turkey on the one hand and by the opposite and the adjacent states on the other hand, It analyzed the discrepancy in delimiting the Turkish continental shelf  by linking it to the different legal arguments of Turkey and the opposite and the adjacent states, where Turkey adopts dwarfing the effect of the islands, by granting them only territorial waters, and depriving them of the  exclusive economic zone or the continental shelf, and Cyprus, Greece and Egypt adopt maximizing the effect of the islands, By granting those islands the entire zones of maritime jurisdiction, which resulted in the overlapping of the maritime jurisdiction zones of Turkey and those islands, then the research reviewed the possible future scenarios of the dispute over delimiting the continental shelf of Turkey, the research concluded that the legal uncertainty about the effect that should be given to the islands adjacent to the Turkish coast has caused the emergence of two limits to the Turkish continental shelf, one of them expands the area of ​​the Turkish continental shelf to a maximum of about 156,6 thousands km2, and the other narrows it to only about 64.2 thousands km2, as those islands are deducted for the calculation of their maritime jurisdiction zones about 92.4 thousands km2, equivalent to about 59% From what Turkey claims as a continental shelf.
