The posts circulating on certain social media accounts targeting the Maritime Jurisdiction Agreement between Türkiye and Libya and claiming that Türkiye is destabilising the Eastern Mediterranean constitute clear disinformation aimed at manipulating public opinion. Signed by two sovereign states to protect their legitimate rights, the agreement has completed the ratification processes in both countries and entered into force in full compliance with international law and the principles of equity. The targeting of Türkiye by actors seeking to turn the Eastern Mediterranean into a zone of conflict and making unlawful claims over maritime areas in which they are not parties is an attempt to cover up their own violations. As it has always done, anytime and everywhere, Türkiye remains committed to peace, stability and equity in the Eastern Mediterranean. The public is strongly urged not to give credence to the baseless allegations of those who trample on all laws and norms in the region and target the legitimate agreements of sovereign states.
