More:Greece and Cyprus, which have long had maritime and territorial disputes with Turkey, say the accord is void and violates the international law of the sea. They see it as a resource-grab designed to scupper the development of East Mediterranean gas and destabilise rivals. Turkey maintains that several islands and islets near its coasts that are claimed by Greece under long-standing post-war treaties are actually "grey zones". "We want to be part of the solution in Libya, as it concerns us too ... [Libya] is our natural maritime neighbour, not Turkey," he said. Separately, the GNA said on Sunday that a video circulating online purportedly showing Syrian fighters deployed by Turkey in Libya was fake.
