Turkish lawmakers ratify military cooperation deal between Turkey and Libya

Turkish parliament confirmed a motion on the approval of a memorandum of understanding on security and military cooperation between Turkey and Libya's UN-backed government.

Turkey and Libya’s UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) signed on November 27 a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) delineating their security and maritime boundaries.

These agreements drew condemnation by both Greece and the international community, including the European union, USA, Russia, Egypt, France, Israel, Arap League and the Libyan opposition, led by the Libyan House of Representative and Khalifa Hafter, the head of the so-called Libyan National Army, as a violation of the International Law of the Sea and the Skhirat Agreement.
