Türkiye and Libya mark the fourth year of a maritime boundaries deal on Monday. An expert says the deal cemented Türkiye’s place in the Mediterranean Sea and shook “a Greek-led front” seeking to curb Türkiye’s influence in the region. The deal, between Ankara and Libya’s Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) secured Turkish rights over a portion of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. He said the deal was a turning point for Türkiye’s foreign policy and security policy that took a more assertive role. On Friday, the motion to extend the mandate of Turkish troops in Libya for two more years was submitted to Parliament.
