e-Defence reported, citing Reuters, that the Libyan parliament approved the Turkey-Libya memorandum of 2019 for the delimitation of maritime zones with Turkey and rescinded the decisions of 2020 that rejected it and called for a cessation of relations with Turkey. It linked the development to the replacement of the long-standing president of the Libyan Parliament, A. Saleh, by A. Nabili, a former head of the parliamentary friendship committee with Turkey. It was noted that the change occurred with the agreement of the Libyan National Army (LNA) and the Government of National Stability, which were described as the two opposing sides in the country. e-Defence characterized the decision as a blow to Greek interests and noted that the lack of ratification by the Libyan parliament was a key argument against the memorandum. It argued that the memorandum remained illegal under international law because, in its view, it did not take Greece into account as a neighboring state and violated the rights of Greek islands to continental shelf and EEZ, according to UNCLOS. It added that while Greek foreign policy was based on legal arguments, Turkish policy invested in showcasing hard power and argued that the developments in Libya demonstrated which approach prevailed. https://t.co/lL3A1AkPbp #Λιβύη #Τουρκία #Ελλάδα (translated)
