Dear İlhami Özer, These borders are disputed and the island is claimed by both Greece and Turkey.
There was a recent incident near the island in January: "A Turkish navy missile boat accompanied with two special-forces speedboats entered the area around the islets on 29 January 2017. According to the statement issued by the Defence Ministry of Greece, they were blocked and warned by Greek coast guard vessels and withdrew from the area after about seven minutes. The Turkish armed forces denied that the ships were blocked but did not otherwise deny the incident; they stated that the mission was a part of an inspection of the Aksaz Naval Base by chief of General Staff Hulusi Akar, who was on board at the time." (Source: Wikipedia article about the island <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imia/Kardak#2016_and_2017_tensions>) You (I assume it's you, because of the similarity of your username <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/iloz> and your real name and the proximity of time to your e-mail to the list) now changed the borders to reflect your point of view in this changeset yesterday: https://openstreetmap.org/changeset/47194531 . I'm not an expert on borders and how disputed borders are handled in OSM, so I forward this to the talk-list, because this probably needs more discussion.
