WorldWhy has the Libya–Türkiye maritime deal stirred controversy?

Libya’s eastern parliament has withdrawn its objection to a deal with Türkiye demarcating Mediterranean maritime boundaries. Signed seven years ago by Libya’s internationally recognised Government of National Unity, the agreement has revived a dispute over exploration in a potentially gas-rich area. Greece, Cyprus and Egypt object, saying it disregards their sovereign rights; Athens has referred the issue to the UN Security Council.
