UAE and Bahrain join opponents of Turkey-Libya maritime agreement

United Arab Emirates ·

Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE joined Greece in condemning a maritime agreement between Turkey and Libya, which they described as a threat to regional security and the international legal order. The statement comes amid a long-running dispute over maritime borders in the eastern Mediterranean.

Turkey and Libya signed a 2019 memorandum on maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean, which Greece and Cyprus contest as ignoring their rights over overlapping maritime zones.
