Turkey Offers Egypt New Maritime Border Deal

Turkey has offered Egypt a maritime boundary agreement that would, under Ankara’s proposal, give Cairo an additional 15,000 square kilometres compared with its agreement with Greece.

The offer follows Egypt’s rejection of the maritime memorandum of understanding between Ankara and Libya’s Tripoli authorities.

The Turkish proposal presents Cairo with an alternative to the boundaries set out in its agreement with Athens, highlighting the additional maritime area Egypt would receive.

The details provided do not indicate whether Egypt has responded to the new offer or whether discussions on the proposal are under way.
