How Turkey foiled a plot aimed at excluding legitimate stakeholders from the resource-rich areas of the Eastern Mediterranean
The maritime deal between the internationally-recognised government of Libya and Ankara is in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the spokesperson of the Turkish Foreign Ministry told"The deal between Ankara and Tripoli allows Libya to assert its maritime sovereignty in the Eastern Mediterranean, and is in complete accordance with the international law and based on the United Nations maritime law, its related articles and previous international court decisions,"...
The map shows the maritime area secured by the deal between Turkey and Libya in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The UN-backed Libyan government was completely sidelined by Israel and Greece even though the EastMed pipeline project is to pass through the Libyan maritime zone. "Turkey has clearly demonstrated its determination in the eyes of world public opinion to protect the rights stemming from international law,” he said.With the deal in place, Ankara and Libya are now working towards establishing control between Turkey’s southwestern coast of Fethiye-Marmaris-Kas and Derna-Tobruk-Bordia coastline of Libya. Both parties aim to strengthen "security and military cooperation".
According to Devecioglu, the potential outcome of the agreement is Turkey can prevent Greece’s "illegal attempts to transfer the gas from the East Mediterranean to Europe by using unilaterally seized 39,000 square metres".
