Eastern Libya parliament approves maritime deal with Turkey, drawing Greek rejection
BENGHAZI, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Libya's eastern parliament approved a maritime boundaries deal with Turkey on Tuesday, drawing swift condemnation from Greece which called it a violation of international law. The deal is part of a years-old dispute over competing claims to sea borders and energy exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean. It was originally agreed in 2019 by Libya’s internationally recognised government in Tripoli in the west, but the rival eastern administration under military commanderKhalifa Haftar had withheld its approval for years.
