Egypt in an unprecedented threat against Turkey: "We will file a complaint against you at the UN"

Egypt threatens Turkey with filing a complaint at the UN, after Libya approved a maritime boundary delimitation agreement with Turkey. The agreement, which the article calls "illegal takeover," raises Egyptian concerns over harm to access to natural resources and relations with Greece and Cyprus.

Egypt threatens Turkey that it will file a complaint against it at the UN, following the approval of a maritime boundary delimitation agreement between Turkey and Libya by the Libyan House of Representatives. The agreement grants each country exclusive rights to explore and extract natural resources in its defined area, a move the article calls "illegal takeover of international parts of the Mediterranean." The Egyptian concern is that the agreement will block Egypt's access to natural resources in its maritime territory and harm its relations with Greece and Cyprus. However, Egypt is careful not to destroy its relations with Turkey, due to security cooperation between the two countries. The article concludes with an assessment that it is unclear how far Egypt will carry out the threat, and that Erdogan does not intend to back down from the agreement easily.
