Plus:Greece and Cyprus, which have long had maritime and territorial disputes with Turkey, say the agreement is void and violates international law of the sea. They see it as a resource capture designed to weaken the development of Eastern Mediterranean gas and destabilize its rivals. Turkey contends that several islands and islets near its shores that Greece claims under the postwar treaties are actually "gray areas."

Separately, the GNA said Sunday that a video circulating online that allegedly showed Syrian fighters deployed by Turkey in Libya was false.
