ATHENS, Jan 31 (AFP-NT) - Greece and Turkey concluded an
agreement overnight acknowledging Greek sovereignty over a
disputed Aegean islet, following the intervention of US
assistant secretary of state Richard Holbrooke, Greek Defence
Minister Gerassimos Arsenis said Wednesday.
The accord enabled both Turkish and Greek forces to disengage
from around Imia, or Kardak, a rocky islet off Turkey's
southwest coast whose possession is the object of a dispute that
flared at the weekend between Athens and Ankara.
