In accordance with this Agreement, the representatives of Italy and Turkey signed in Ankara, on December 28, 1932, a supplementary agreement by which the rest of the maritime frontier between the Dodecanese and the Turkish coast was precisely delimited.
The principal argument, on which Turkey bases its claim, is the assertion that the legal procedures of the agreement of December 1932 were not completed and that it was not registered with the Secretariat of the League of Nations.
However, the December agreement was supplementary to that of January, which set the maritime frontier between Castellorizo and the Turkish coast and settled an issue concerning the sovereignty of some islets around Castellorizo, over which there was a difference of opinion between the two sides.

 Kastellorizo - History - Greece!
The Knights used the island as a place of exile and punishment for those of their number who had committed various offences in 1440, the island was captured by Jelal-el-Din, who was cruising the Aegean in command of a fleet of 18 Egyptian galleys and auxiliary vessels.
It was off Castellorizo, after the fall of Nikosia to the Turks, that a grand summit meeting of the Christian leaders was held.
It was ultimately decided that the plan to recapture Nikosia should be abandoned, since the meantime the Turks had already laid siege to Famagusta.

Of the 10,000 Greek arrivals 2,200 came from the island of Kythera, 1,290 from the island of Castellorizo and 860 came from the island of Ithaca.

This action began a classic process of chain migration from Castellorizo - Greece's eastern most island possession - to Western Australia.
The process, which Auguste had initiated, continued until well after World War II, by which time the island of Castellorizo had been depopulated.
This story however, is that of the first Castellorizian arrival, not the first Greek, to Western Australia.

Finally, any place mentioned in one entry also has an entry of its own.
For instance, I looked up Castellorizo, which is the English name for a Greek island that is the last in the Dodecanese chain and actually would logically seem to belong to Turkey from its location.
In addition, there is a bit of history of Castellorizo (and it's various spellings in the appropriate languages) indicating that it had been Greek, then Turkish, then Italian (1923) then back to Greece (1947).
