gives particulars of the georgia turkey territorial sea boundary
demarcation
from the 1983 soviet turkish agreement
a single spar buoy 400 meters offshore is aligned with range
lights projected seaward from just above the shoreline
& tho these lights are visible on clear days & nights along the full
length of the territorial sea boundary & beyond
there are evidently no other buoys anywhere on the boundary
contrary to the expectation created by the 1973 sutu agreement
& hence none to mark the tripoint of georgia & turkey with
everyones land
contrary to the hope expressed below
so
not only may this single buoy be the only international boundary
buoy in the world
but we must continue to wait for the creation of the worlds first
tripoint buoy
the long anticipated algrmk buoy projected for lake prespa may
still be our best hope
