European Union takes a firm stance on the Turkey-Libya memorandum
Published
The European Union has expressed its strong dissatisfaction regarding the recent ratification of the Turkey-Libya memorandum by the Libyan parliament. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, António Costa, emphasized that this specific agreement causes serious problems in the Mediterranean region.
According to the statements of the European officials, this memorandum violates the sovereign rights of Greece and Cyprus. The European Union underscores that the agreement has no legal basis and does not respect the International Law of the Sea, which defines the limits of maritime zones between states.
Europe is demonstrating its support for Athens and Nicosia in practice, pointing out that these actions undermine stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. Brussels calls on all sides to avoid moves that increase tension and to seek dialogue for the resolution of their differences.
This issue remains high on the agenda of European institutions, as security and adherence to international rules are a priority for the European Union. The EU's stance is expected to influence future diplomatic contacts with Turkey and Libya, with the aim of protecting the interests of its member states.
