The repercussions of the Libyan agreement with Turkey .. Greece threatens and the government of reconciliation is considering the response

Libya is considering options to respond to any escalation by the Greek side concerning the signing of memorandums of military and naval cooperation between Libya and Turkey, an official source at the foreign ministry said.

Al-Wefaq Foreign Minister Mohammed Sayyala said in a phone call with the EU ambassador to Libya that the memorandum signed with Turkey comes within the framework of Libya's cooperation with all countries for the common interests as guaranteed by international law.

The developments came a day after the Greek Foreign Ministry summoned the ambassador of the Accord government, giving it until December 6 to inform her of the details of the agreement signed with Turkey, and threatened to expel him.

In the meantime, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias held talks in Cairo on regional and international issues, most notably the memorandums of Libyan-Turkish cooperation.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the two ministers discussed ways to deal with the situation in the region, including the successive developments on the Libyan arena, the latest signing of memorandums of understanding between Turkey and Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj.

The statement pointed out that the two sides agreed on what they called the illegality of signing a memorandum with other countries outside the framework of the powers set out in the Skhirat agreement, and what they described as negative Turkish interference in Libyan affairs, contrary to the overall political settlement efforts in Libya.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has described the Turkish-Libyan memorandum as having no legal effect, saying that the agreement does not bind any party and does not affect the system of delimiting the maritime borders in the Mediterranean because it is illegal.

Turkish response
In Turkey, Vice President Fuad Oktay said on Sunday that the agreement concluded by his country with the legitimate government of Libya opened a way for Turkey.

He pointed out that Turkey has concluded the agreement with Libya in the light of an attempt by international forces to corner Turkey in relation to the eastern Mediterranean, and said that his country has concluded with Libya the exclusive economic zone agreement.

He added that "the agreement we have concluded with the legitimate Libyan government opened the way for Turkey in the region from Turkey to Libya, and we will be witness to the results together."

Last Wednesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of the Presidential Council of the Wefaq government, received the winner in Istanbul, where the two countries signed two memorandums of understanding on security and military cooperation, and another on sovereignty over maritime areas.

On Saturday, Tayyip Erdogan stressed that his country will not withdraw exploration ships from the eastern Mediterranean, stressing that the agreement with Libya will be applied in all its terms.

He said that all the provisions of the agreement between Turkey and Libya will also enter into force, and our exploration work will result from peace and prosperity, not conflict and bloodshed.
