Turkey's new deal on Mediterranean maritime boundaries with Libya is exacerbating issues with Greece and the EU

Turkey and Libya have approved a maritime agreement to create an economic corridor, prompting Greece to protest and the EU to declare it invalid. The deal aims to exploit newly discovered oil and gas reserves, disregarding Greece's claims over nearby islands. Greece insists it has exclusive economic rights in the area and has received EU backing against the agreement. The situation raises tensions in the eastern Mediterranean, with potential implications for energy projects like the EastMed pipeline. Turkey's military support for Libya's eastern government further complicates the geopolitical landscape.
