Egypt Rejects Libyan Maritime Claims
September 27, 2025
The Egyptian government submitted a note to the UN, rejecting Libya's claims over maritime zones that overlap with Greek areas south of Crete. This move expresses Egypt's opposition to the Turkey-Libya memorandum and supports Greece's position. Despite Turkey's efforts to restore relations with Egypt, the latter remains firm in its stance. The note emphasizes that Libya's claims violate Egypt's sovereignty. Egypt does not recognize Libya's unilateral declarations regarding its maritime borders.
