Last month, Turkey signed a maritime delimitation agreement with Libya’s internationally recognized government, a move that enraged Greece. In a statement, Erdogan’s office said he was accompanied by his foreign and defense ministers, as well as his intelligence chief. The visit is the first by a head of state to Tunisia since the election of President Kais Saied in October, after Tunisian parliamentary elections. As part of its expanded cooperation with Tunisia’s neighbor Libya, Ankara also signed a military-cooperation deal with Fayez Al-Serraj’s Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA). Ankara’s possible deployment into Libya has also alarmed Russia, which said it was very concerned by such a prospect.
