Cyprus, Athens and Brussels coordinate on the Turkish-Libyan memorandum
Published
Nicosia is coordinating with Athens and Brussels on the Turkish-Libyan memorandum of understanding. The Cypriot government states that it supports and follows the joint planning of the three sides on this issue.
The memorandum was signed in 2019 between Turkey and Libya and concerns the delimitation of maritime zones in the eastern Mediterranean. Greece and Cyprus consider that this agreement does not take into account their islands and their maritime zones, and that it violates the law of the sea, as this is defined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The European Union is monitoring developments on the issue, as it affects the security and maritime rights of its member states. The coordination between Athens, Nicosia and Brussels aims to ensure a unified position and a common strategy in the face of developments.
The issue remains on the agenda of European and regional discussions. Developments will be examined in the coming weeks, and the citizens of Greece and Cyprus will be informed of every new decision concerning their maritime zones.
