Libya's Eastern Parliament Approves Maritime Deal with Turkey Amid Regional Disputes
Libya's eastern-based House of Representatives unanimously approved the 2019 maritime agreement with Turkey, reversing earlier opposition and aiming to establish a direct maritime economic corridor in the eastern Mediterranean. The deal, originally signed with Libya's UN-recognized Government of National Accord, has sparked objections from Greece, Egypt, and the European Union, who argue it infringes on their maritime rights and conflicts with international law. Turkey and Libya maintain the agreement is equitable and seek joint exploitation of offshore energy resources, while tensions persist over overlapping maritime claims.
