Turkey, Libya express commitment to maritime accord for east MedANKARAPresident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on April 12 said Turkey and Libya’s new unity government were committed to the maritime demarcation agreement in the eastern Mediterranean. Erdoğan noted that 150,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines would be delivered from Turkey to Libya on April 13. Dbeibah for his part stressed that the MOU between Turkey and Libya on the delimitation of maritime jurisdiction areas was to the benefit of both countries. Visiting Libya last week, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias called for the maritime accord to be canceled as Athens opposed the maritime agreement between Tripoli and Ankara. Meanwhile, foreign ministers of Libya, Malta and Turkey held a trilateral meeting on April.
