The echoes of the agreement signed between Turkey and Libya, which Greece, Egypt and the EU could not digest, continue. The agreement, which was signed as an extension of the agreement in 2019, became the agenda of the Arab press.
At the political level, it was stated that the agreement strengthened Turkey’s position in the Mediterranean vis-a-vis Greece, the Greek Cypriot side, France and Egypt.
While reaffirming the determination of Turkey’s support for the Dibeybe government, it was stated that Libyan Prime Minister Dibeybe gained strength against Fethi Başağa, who was elected as the Prime Minister by the House of Representatives.
TURKEY’S MOVE ENDED PULSE HAFTER’S HOPE!
It was emphasized that the biggest loser in this rapprochement between the Libyan government and Turkey was the putschist Haftar. In his analysis article, “Turkey’s strengthening of its presence in the Libyan crisis through this agreement, and indeed previous agreements, will end all hopes of Haftar in expanding his authority and influence over the capital. Moreover, the global energy crisis will also prevent him from resorting to closing oil fields and blocking his exports again.” it was said.
The article stated that the political repercussions of the agreement will increase in the coming days. “The recent visit of the British Royal battleship to Tripoli shows the British interest in Libya as a country with oil and gas reserves, and this could be one of the alternative options for Russian oil and gas.”
Turkey and Libya signed a memorandum of understanding on October 3, which made it possible for both countries to explore natural gas in the Mediterranean’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
