The European Union rejects the Turkish-Libyan memorandum
Published
The European Union has expressed its strong dissatisfaction regarding the recent ratification of the memorandum of understanding between Turkey and Libya. The European body characterized this agreement as "null and void," emphasizing that it produces no legal consequences for other states.
According to the official announcement, this agreement violates the sovereign rights of third states and is not in accordance with the International Law of the Sea. The European Union underlined that these actions do not contribute to stability and security in the Mediterranean region.
At the same time, Brussels expressed its full solidarity with Greece and Cyprus. Both countries have repeatedly denounced the specific memorandum, arguing that it ignores the legitimate rights of their islands and their defined maritime zones.
The position of the European Union remains firm, calling on all involved parties to avoid unilateral moves that cause tension. The international community is closely monitoring developments, as this issue remains a central point in Europe's relations with Turkey.
