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.
