Debate on Turkey destabilising the Mediterranean

Debate on Turkey destabilising the Mediterranean
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

MEPs will discuss the situation in the Mediterranean and Turkey’s problematic role in the region with the High Representative Josep Borrell, on Thursday.

The EU has repeatedly criticised Turkey in the last few months for its drilling activities in Cypriot waters, the tensions it causes in the Aegean Sea and its engagement in Libya. It is expected that High Representative Borrell will inform MEPs about his recent visits to Greece and Cyprus in June.

Background

After repeatedly warning Turkey to stop illegal drilling activities in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone, the Council decided that a regime of restrictive measures should be put in place against Turkey.

The situation has been tense in the Aegean Sea too, over Turkish maritime claims and violations of Greek airspace that have led to a significant deterioration in relations between Greece and Turkey.

Turkey has been also accused of continuously interfering in Libya’s internal affairs, violating the UN embargo and undermining the efforts to find a political solution under the auspices of the UN. The EU has denounced the escalating violence in Libya and launched the EU military Operation Irini to monitor the UN arms embargo and contribute to its enforcement.

Last November, Turkey and Libya signed an agreement on maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean Sea, which further complicated its relations with Greece.
