Europe1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported48m ago
On Thursday, October 22, the United States State Department issued a statement urging Greece and Turkey to resolve ongoing maritime disputes through good-faith negotiations. The call for dialogue follows Libya’s recent approval of a controversial 2019 maritime agreement with Ankara, a development that has heightened regional tensions. The US has not taken a formal position regarding the validity of the Libya-Turkey deal.
Simultaneously, Greece and Egypt are engaged in discussions regarding the potential eastward extension of their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) toward Cyprus. Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis confirmed these talks, which serve as a strategic response to the maritime agreement between Libya and Turkey.
