<div id="ygrps-yiv-1357154865">trying to imagine some legal basis for the dry bggrtr<br/>
position on kavak island you all know & love<br/>
til now i had been supposing it could have been<br/>
explained by the fact that the 1923 treaty of lausanne<br/>
especially articles 2 & 5 <br/>
& tangentially 6<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1918p/lausanne.html">http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1918p/lausanne.html</a><br/>
provided the 1926 grtr demarcation commission with<br/>
some discretion over the exact border alignment they<br/>
were actualizing on the ground<br/>
so as to sidestep anticipated demographic as well as<br/>
economic & administrative problems<br/>
<br/>
& accordingly i was surmising out loud that their 1926<br/>
athens protocol & mapping <br/>
which i recently mentioned & located a buyable copy of<br/>
at 45 euros<br/>
would show that the tripartition of kavak was their<br/>
original doing<br/>
<br/>
& was even surmising to myself that this report might<br/>
also explain their very reasons for doing it<br/>
as well as specify the necessary delineation that gave<br/>
rise to the vista<br/>
whether they themselves actually installed its<br/>
demarcation or not<br/>
<br/>
& that their doing this by their authority would make<br/>
this dry tripoint position fully legal in all 3<br/>
countries<br/>
without any need for a treaty of cession from bulgaria<br/>
to greece<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but i believe i have to abandon this expectation after<br/>
all<br/>
because the ibs studies themselves do mention this<br/>
treaty & commission & protocol <br/>
& even draw their maps based on its mapping <br/>
without acknowledging any such change of the tripoint<br/>
position<br/>
<br/>
& perhaps more to the point<br/>
tho the 1923 treaty mentioned & concerned bulgaria &<br/>
bggr also <br/>
the 1926 commission it provided for was not actually<br/>
empowered by it to mark or affect bggr in any way <br/>
but only grtr<br/>
<br/>
& all this makes me all the more reluctant to spend<br/>
the 45 euros<br/>
tho still eager enough to find a library copy of this<br/>
text & mapping<br/>
so i can at least confirm my belief that it really<br/>
does contain no clue<br/>
<br/>
as well as pick up the exact distances from both bgtr<br/>
320 & 320a <br/>
to go with the 60 meter distance from grtr 1 given by<br/>
the ibs<br/>
that it probably does also specify <br/>
for gaining additional fixes on the legal tripoint<br/>
position<br/>
<br/>
i mean<br/>
if the tripoint is in fact as geodetically determinate<br/>
as it appears to be<br/>
rather than in a living fluctuation with the median of<br/>
the main channel as the bggr & grtr convergents are<br/>
specified to be<br/>
<br/>
for it cant very well be both fixed & fluid at once<br/>
& so there is in fact a small remaining puzzle or<br/>
loose end there too<br/>
<br/>
like <br/>
how do these bggr & grtr midchannel riverine<br/>
boundaries ever even reach this geodetic tripoint <br/>
seeing as they are described in such different terms<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
still remaining fully intact tho <br/>
is the hypothesis of a separate treaty of cession from<br/>
bulgaria to greece<br/>
<br/>
& also the hypothesis of customary possession<br/>
from whatever illusion or misunderstanding it may have<br/>
originated<br/>
which would not necessarily be supported by any<br/>
paperwork<br/>
yet might still be accepted by all 3 parties<br/>
<br/>
& finally the hypothesis that the ibs studies were<br/>
always & are still correct <br/>
whatever they actually do mean about the fixity or<br/>
fluidity of the trifinium<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
