> Libya’s eastern parliament unanimously approved a maritime agreement with Turkey to create a direct economic corridor. Greece rejects the accord, saying it infringes on the sovereign rights of third states, and says the EU supports its position. Turkey and Libya seek to secure and jointly exploit oil and gas resources in the area.
