Greek diplomatic sources have announced the rejection of Turkey's recent letter to the United Nations, where Turkey reiterates its claims about maritime zones based on the controversial Turkey-Libya memorandum. According to these sources, the letter asserts Turkey's unilateral definition of its maritime boundaries in the Eastern Mediterranean and dismisses the domestic laws of other nations as non-binding. This diplomatic response indicates Greece's firm stance against Turkey's maritime ambitions in the region.

The sources noted that the Turkish correspondence was largely expected and comes as a continuation of Turkey's long-standing ambitions regarding maritime law, which they perceive as fanciful and arbitrary interpretations of international legal frameworks. The Turkish letter points to the alleged legitimacy of its claims and presents an outline of its maritime jurisdiction, despite significant opposition from Greece and other countries in the Mediterranean.

This development is part of a broader geopolitical tension in the Eastern Mediterranean, where disputes over maritime boundaries and resource exploration have been a source of conflict. The Greek government is likely to respond formally to the Turkish claims, reinforcing its commitment to uphold international law in opposition to Turkey's assertive maritime posture. Such interactions underscore the fragile state of relations between Greece and Turkey, especially concerning sovereignty and resource rights in the contested waters of the Mediterranean.
