The issue of delimitating maritime zones in the eastern Mediterranean dramatically appeared on Greece’s foreign policy “radar” in 2019 with the signing of a controversial agreement between Turkey and the provisional government in Tripoli

FM Giorgos Gerapetritis reiterated that Athens considers the controversial 2019 Libya-Turkey agreement to delimitate maritime zones as baseless, invalid and illegal – a view that is also the EU’s position

Yannis Maniatis, the vice-chair of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists in the Europarliament, cited a reference to the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" and an illegal maritime agreement in a report by the European Defence Agency
