Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis presented their position following the agreement’s recent ratification by Libya’s eastern-based parliament. The signatories argue that it infringes third countries’ maritime rights, including those associated with islands. This is their legal assessment, rather than a new court ruling.
On the same day, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for respect for the joint Turkish-Libyan position. He said Ankara was protecting its maritime rights and interests.
Athens says it is willing to continue bilateral talks with Libya. The declarations show that the dispute persists; they do not establish a maritime boundary settlement accepted by all parties.
