Türkei und Griechenland: Neuer Seerechtsstreit im Mittelmeer

Turkey and Libya have agreed to a maritime deal that alters sea boundaries in the Mediterranean, prompting strong objections from Greece and EU concerns. The agreement aims to establish an economic corridor between Turkey and Libya, focusing on newly discovered oil and gas reserves. Greece asserts its rights over nearby islands and rejects the deal as illegal. The EU emphasizes the need for respect of sovereign rights under international law. The situation escalates tensions in the region, potentially impacting energy projects like the EastMed pipeline, and could lead to a division into competing energy blocs.
