Greece has announced a decision to expel the Libyan ambassador to the country, Mohamed Younis, following signing an accord between Libya and Turkey mapping out a sea boundary between the two countries close to Crete.
Younis had 72 hours to leave the country, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias told a news briefing, according to Reuters.
Dendias called the Turkey-Libyan accord a ‘blatant violation of international law’.
The agreement on maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean Sea between Turkey and the Tripoli-based government could complicate disputes over energy exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Turkish drilling has angered Greek Cypriots, Athens, Egypt and the EU.
