Greece, Egypt and Cyprus view the deal as a clear infringement of the economic rights in an oil-rich part of the Mediterranean, which under international law belongs to them. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his Libyan counterpart Najla Mangoush signed the MoU in Tripoli, the capital of Libya's internationally recognized government. The Memorandum follows the maritime accord between the two countries reached in 2019 with the former Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA). Greece and Egypt challenged the legitimacy of last Monday's deal, considering it to be the culmination of Ankara's efforts over the years to establish itself in the Eastern Mediterranean.
