Libyan government rejects Greek objections to deal with Türkiye
Libya’s eastern-based government has firmly rejected recent Greek objections to the 2019 maritime boundary agreement signed between Türkiye and the Tripoli-based Libyan government, asserting that the deal remains legitimate under international law.

Prime Minister Osama Hammad, representing the Benghazi-based administration, stated that the Türkiye-Libya deal is "internationally legitimate" and warned against any external interference in Libya’s sovereign decisions.

“Libya will not accept any challenge to its rights,” he said, adding that the country retains the right to respond decisively to any actions threatening its territorial integrity or political sovereignty. He also accused Greece of pursuing a "policy of provocation and escalation."

Hammad stressed that Libya’s maritime rights are non-negotiable and must be discussed only within internationally recognized legal frameworks. He noted that decisive steps were taken in response to Athens’ recent positions and warned that continued Greek objections would trigger consequences.

The Tripoli government and Türkiye signed the maritime boundary agreement in 2019, which delineated exclusive economic zones in the eastern Mediterranean. In 2022, the two sides expanded the deal with a memorandum granting Türkiye exploration rights both offshore and on Libyan territory.

Turkey reaffirms continued cooperation with Libya on maritime issues
by AbdulkaderAssad Sat, 05/07/2025 - 19:13



Turkey has reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing cooperation with Libya on maritime issues within the framework of the memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries.


According to Anadolu Agency, Turkish Defense Ministry sources made the remarks in response to journalists’ questions at the ministry headquarters, concerning the final statement of the recent EU leaders’ summit, which criticized the Turkey-Libya maritime jurisdiction agreement.

The agency quoted the sources as saying that the 2019 memorandum of understanding on maritime jurisdiction zones, signed between Turkey and Libya, was prepared to protect the rights of both countries based on the principle of equity and in accordance with international maritime law. Both countries, the sources noted, had notified the United Nations of the agreement at the time.


The sources rejected the characterization of the Turkey-Libya memorandum as “illegal,” attributing such claims to the unilateral political stance of Greece and the Greek Cypriot administration.

They further emphasized that the memorandum with Libya was based on the median line principle between mainland territories and the principles of non-encirclement and equality.

Nach Gesprächen in Tripolis wollen die vier ranghohen Politiker auch Ostlibyen besuchen. Zum Treffen mit General Haftars Regierung kommt es aber nicht – die Delegation wird noch am Flughafen gestoppt.



Beim Besuch der Innenminister dreier Mittelmeeranrainer und des EU-Innenkommissars Magnus Brunner in Libyen ist es am Dienstagabend zu einem diplomatischen Eklat gekommen. Der Österreicher Brunner und die Minister aus Griechenland, Italien und Malta hatten zunächst in der Hauptstadt Tripolis mit der international anerkannten Regierung unter Ministerpräsident Abdul Hamid Dbaiba über die weitere Zusammenarbeit im Kampf gegen das Schleuserunwesen und die illegale Migration über das zentrale Mittelmeer gesprochen.

Am Nachmittag flog die EU-Delegation dann von Tripolis nach Benghasi im Osten des Landes, um mit der dortigen Führung unter dem abtrünnigen General Chalifa Haftar ebenfalls über die Kooperation im Kampf gegen den Menschenhandel zu sprechen.

Libya’s internationally recognised government has begun using Turkish drones to strike people-smuggling networks.

Strikes were carried out on Wednesday in the northwestern coastal cities of Sabratha and Zwara, the Government of National Unity (GNU) announced.

The strikes were “part of a systematic security campaign and comprehensive strategic plan aimed at intensifying operations to degrade and dismantle the criminal gangs and networks trafficking in human lives and people-smuggling into Europe,” Abdulsalam Al-Zoubi, the GNU’s deputy defence minister, said on Thursday.

“These operations, which included the inaugural use of UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles], demonstrate the determination and zero-tolerance approach of the GNU in tackling these criminal networks and disrupting their illegal activity.”

A source within the GNU told Middle East Eye that the drones were “Turkish UAVs owned and operated by the Libyan Ministry of Defence”.
