Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says Libya agreement is a vital step to protect Turkey’s sovereign rights
Referring to energy agreements signed by Greece and the Greek Cypriot administration as well as with other countries including Egypt and Israel, Cavusoglu said the Turkey-Libya deal was an "important move against those who would seek to corner" Turkey.
"The International Court of Justice can rule [on the issue]. The EU only can express political opinion, but the EU's political views are absolutely not valid when it comes to our national sovereignty rights," he added. It determined their marine jurisdictions, rejecting unilateral and illegal activities by other regional actors and international firms and aiming to protect the rights of both countries.
Turkey urged regional countries to take an equality-based approach, but its calls have largely fallen on deaf ears. Turkey continues its drilling operations in the region under the protection of the country's navy.Cavusoglu underlined that Ankara hoped to repatriate "all" Syrian refugees to their home country.
